About YFA

Review the Bylaws of the Young Fellows Association.

The YFA represents the interests and concerns of the young Fellows of the American College of Surgeons, and promotes active participation and input from young Fellows to support ACS activities.

The YFA is led by a 15-person Governing Council. The Governing Council includes the eight members of the Executive Committee (Chair, Vice Chair, and six members who serve as the Chairs of the YFA Workgroups) and seven at-large members.
