The NM Chapter of the American College of Surgeons (NM ACS) is proud to announce 9 new inductees to the Fellowship of the American College of Surgeons (ACS). These were members who applied for fellowship the year prior to December 1, 2022. They will be among the 1,674 initiates around the world who will become Fellows of the American College of Surgeons during the Clinical Congress 2023 in Boston.
Fellowship is one of the most distinguished designations the ACS can offer its members and is a tremendous recognition of the surgeon’s professional career. The designation is based on outstanding credentials, achievements, and contributions to the surgical profession, consistent with the high standards established and demanded by the College. NM ACS would like to thank all initiates for their contributions to the Society, and we hope that you will continue to serve our New Mexico patients and communities.
