Welcome to the official website of the Academic Surgical Congress!

On behalf of the Executive Councils of the Association for Academic Surgery (AAS) and the Society of University Surgeons (SUS), invite you to attend the 16th Annual Academic Surgical Congress (ASC) in Houston, TX.

Over the past 15 years the ASC has become the premier gathering place for surgeon-scientists—offering unparalleled opportunities for scientific exchange and networking with peers. Each year the ASC registration grows and the program has become more diverse, with programming in basic science, education, health policy, outcomes research, global health, leadership, and many other topics relevant to academic surgery.

The combination of cutting-edge science, dynamic speakers, and rich mentoring programs for students, residents and junior faculty  provide a week full of learning and numerous opportunities to connect with colleagues!

We look forward to seeing you next year in Houston for the 16th Annual Academic Surgical Congress!
