Abstract

Good morning, and welcome to the 9th annual Academic Surgical Congress, and the 75th meeting of the Society of University Surgeons (SUS). During the past year, I began considering the role of the Society of University Surgeons in our matrix as university surgeons and our joint meeting with the Association for Academic Surgery (AAS). How could the Academic Surgical Congress (ASC) have grown so rapidly during a short period of time? What value do the SUS, the AAS, and the ASC bring to each of you sitting in the audience today? As you sit here in this auditorium, on occasion checking in with the rest of your life on your smart phone, you may be asking the question “why am I here?” Why have I traveled hundreds of miles, put my schedule on pause, arranged for coverage of my patients, traveled away from my family and friends, and generally put my life on hold to attend this meeting?
