Some things to consider about the Academic Surgical Congress and
#ASC2022

Aside from the science (and hoo baby, the science was good), ASC meetings have always served as a window to the future of surgery.

Some things to consider on
#NationalWomenPhysiciansDay
#NWPD
:
Are you following/retweeting/promoting your female colleagues on social media?
Does your organization marketing materials reflect the diversity of the organization?
Even little biases matter. Let's all do better.
Future book editors, take note... This is why you should spend the effort to cultivate your social media relationships.

Dear surgical outcomes researchers:
@lubitz_carrie
and I are working on our final table of contents for the 2nd edition of this
@AcademicSurgery

What new topics would you like to see?
And that's it for

It's official!
#ASC2019
received the largest number of completed abstract submissions of any ASC meeting!
1,663! That's a lot!
Reviewers, you're up. Have fun!
In addition to all the praise being heaped upon
@AmirGhaferi
for his Presidential Address, we just wanted to emphasize that he's one of the nicest human beings we've had the pleasure to meet and who treats others well.
Hey folks. Sad but excited to announce that
#ASC2021
will now be virtual. Details below, more information coming soon.
WE STILL WANT YOUR RESEARCH! Plan on submitting abstracts this summer!
“Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?”
I know how surgeons will answer that and I’m proud to be a small part of your mission.
Yours in service and hopeful for equity and equality in the future.
With all of the group photos coming through the

Ahem,
We are over 1,890 abstracts submitted for
#ASC2020
and are still working with last minute technical support issues to add a few more. Last year was 1,911 so we're close to eclipsing that.
Are we going to have a party in Orlando?
Overheard on day 3 of
#ASC2022
:
"Where is the Narcissist room?"
"Did you mean Narcissus? That's on the second floor. The narcissist room is any room with a surgeon in it"
HEY-O!
Merry Christmas to all of the doctors, nurses, and hospital staff who are working today to ensure their patients get to see many more Christmas's. We see you. Your friends and family see you.
Tell us your
#SurgChristmas
stories...
For those of you who were at
#ASC2022
, consider how it looked. The future of surgery is women. The future is diverse. The MS2's and PGY3's presenting from the podium this week will grow into our future chairs and surgery will change accordingly. 2/4

The recordings of the "Making Surgical Traning Anti-Racist" and "Toolkit for Basic and Translational Research by Surgeon Scientists" are now available!
