About Us

The Metropolitan Washington DC Chapter of the American College of Surgeons was founded in 1972. Its goals since then have been:

  • To promote the aims, interests, ideals, and programs of the College in the metropolitan area of Washington, this includes DC as well as suburban Maryland and Virginia.

  • To hold itself responsible for and use its best efforts to attain the objectives of the American College of Surgeons.

  • To welcome new Fellows of the College into the Chapter and develop better acquaintances among local Fellows.

  • To stimulate interest in the Resident-Associate Society (RAS) among surgical residents and young surgeons.
