Join Us for the Virtual 16th Academic Surgical Congress on February 2-4, 2021!

The 16th Annual Academic Surgical Congress (ASC) will take place virtually on February 2 – 4, 2021. Though we are not able to meet in person, we feel that it is important for us to continue our mission of providing a rich and diverse environment for the development of academic surgical leaders in line with our core values: scholarship, leadership, professional development, mentorship, innovation, community, and inclusion.


The ASC is an exciting venue to hear and discuss the latest scientific advances in all disciplines of academic surgery. We are thrilled with the high quality of abstracts and hot topic proposals we received this year. Your continued engagement and support of our conference will make it a huge virtual success! The breadth of work being presented includes topics in education, clinical outcomes, health services research, as well as basic and translational science.
