Academic Surgery
Promoting academic surgery and developing the scholar/teacher professional competency are the overall goals of the Section of Academic Surgery formed in 2002 with a membership of over 300. The Section also provides an increasingly important link between the College and university departments of surgery.
An Academic Surgeon is considered as a surgeon who has chosen to acquire specific training and experience in research and/or education, and to make these dimensions a significant part of their career.
