Only a Few Spots Remain for March Surgeons as Leaders Course

The modern medical environment is challenging, complex, and unpredictable, and with the demands on leaders escalating, the need for leadership has never been greater. To meet this need, the ACS offers the Surgeons as Leaders: From Operating Room to Boardroom course, which is intended for surgeons in any practice setting (academic or community) who currently serve in leadership positions or aspire to such positions.

The next ACS Surgeons as Leaders course will take place March 23–26, 2025, in Durham, North Carolina, and applications are now being accepted.

Features of the course include individual meetings with expert faculty for personalized guidance, working lunches with faculty to promote networking and discussion of challenges identified by course attendees, special concurrent sessions tailored to address issues faced by leaders in community practice and those in academic practice, sessions on diversity, and more.

A variety of interactive panel discussions, case-based sessions, lectures, and small group discussions will foster networking and personalized learning throughout the 3-day course. The purpose of this course is to provide surgeons with an understanding of leadership at all levels of an organization and to provide them with the skills that are essential for effective leadership.

Experienced surgeon leaders head the course, including several ACS executives, Officers, and Regents.
