The Young Fellows Association (YFA) of the American College of Surgeons (ACS) is accepting essays on ”The promise of a profession: The transformation of surgery and surgeons into the next decade.” Essay submissions should be 400–500 words in length and are due May 1, 2014.
Essays may reflect personal experiences or philosophical thoughts on the promise of the surgical profession. The YFA Governing Council will review and judge all of the submitted essays. The winning entry will be published in an upcoming edition of the ACS Bulletin. Outstanding submissions will appear in future quarterly YFA e-newsletters.
Submit essays to youngfellows@facs.org. The YFA represents all ACS members age 45 and younger, and the YFA seeks essays from surgeons in this age group, as well as those who are”young at heart.” For more information, contact Ellen Farrohki, MD, FACS, at ellenfarrokhi@gmail.com.
