Fellow of the American College of Surgeons

Our surgeons are Fellows of the American College of Surgeons or in the candidate group for fellowship. After approximately two years in practice, a surgeon may apply to become a Fellow, American College of Surgeons. The surgeon must present a portfolio of cases, be recommended by his peers, and be interviewed by a regional group of Fellows. After this process, if the surgeon meets all criteria, induction as a Fellow may result.

Information about the College can be found on the A.C.S. website:
