Become Involved with the ACS

As the House of Surgery, the American College of Surgeons welcomes and encourages the involvement of members from all surgical specialties and career stages to help the ACS advance its mission To Heal All With Skill and Trust by becoming part of a committee.

Applications are closed for appointments beginning in 2024.

The Resident and Associate Society (RAS) and Young Fellow Association (YFA) have a separate call for committee liaisons. Contact the RAS and YFA to be kept apprised of that process.
