A total of 17 surgeons will

Program in Health Policy and
Management in June at the Heller

partners with 16 surgical specialty
groups to help design the course

surgeons who are ACS Fellows
and members in good standing

to provide a year’s service in a

the College and the cosponsoring
surgical specialty society. For
