About the Academic Surgical Congress
The Academic Surgical Congress is organized by the Association for Academic Surgery (AAS) and the Society of University Surgeons (SUS). The purpose of the AAS is: to stimulate young surgeons and surgical scientists to pursue careers in academic surgery and support them in establishing themselves as investigators and educators; to provide a forum for senior surgical residents, fellows and junior faculty members to present papers on subjects of clinical, laboratory or educational research; and to facilitate the development of young surgeons and surgical scientists as investigators and educators. Its additional mission is to inspire and develop young academic surgeons. The SUS exists to advance the art and science of surgery by (1) the encouragement of its members to pursue original investigations both in the clinic and in the laboratory; (2) the development of methods of graduate teaching of surgery with particular reference to the resident system; (3) free and informal interchange of ideas pertaining to the above subjects.
