Exhibiting Opportunities
On behalf of the Academic Surgical Congress (ASC), we invite you to be a part of the 4th Annual Academic Surgical Congress, February 3-6, 2009 at the Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa in Fort Myers, Florida. Four years ago AAS (Association of Academic Surgeons) and SUS (Society of University Surgeons) joined forces to create the Academic Surgical Congress. These groups share a similar mission: to improve the overall quality of surgical patient care through excellence in research and education.
Who will be at ASC?
 
 
Association for Academic Surgery Society of University Surgeons
The Association for Academic Surgery (AAS) is composed principally of young surgical faculty. The AAS recognizes that effective scientifi c and clinical research is paramount to advancement in the understanding and treatment of surgical diseases.

Its mission therefore, is to stimulate young surgeons to pursue careers in academic surgery and to support them in establishing themselves as investigators and educators.

Founded in 1966, the AAS currently has over 2,300 active and senior members, many of whom are current thought leaders in American surgery.
The Society of University Surgeons (SUS) has been recognized as the world's premier organization dedicated to the advancement of surgical sciences.

SUS members are the leaders of academic surgery, who not only contribute daily to medical advancement, but provide the training for the next generation of surgeons.

With academic members from every leading medical institution in the United States, the Society of University Surgeons provides both corporate organizations and the public with key contacts to an elite group of surgeons.
