YOUR ACS BENEFITS

Communicate

You also may use your online Member Profile to link to the ACS Communities that are of interest to you. At present, the ACS has more than 100 members-only Communities. The ACS Communities have multiple layers of security to allow members to freely discuss cases and issues.

Visit the ACS Communities to participate in discussions relevant to your specific interests, engage with experts, and share documents, photos, and videos.

Comply with regulatory
requirements

Your profile includes a link that allows users to manage and track their continuing medical education (CME) credits. You can track both ACS and non-ACS CME credits, print CME certificates, and transfer your CME credits directly to the American Board of Surgery through the MyCME site.

Members also may access
the ACS Surgeon Specific
Registry (SSR). The SSR online
software application and
database allows you to track
your cases and outcomes, as well
as meet a number of regulatory
requirements, including
the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services Physician
Quality Reporting System
mandates and Maintenance
of Certification requirements
issued by the surgery boards.

Take advantage of
ACS programs

From your profile page, you may contact your ACS representatives, including the Board of Governors, your Advisory Council Chair, join your state or local chapter, print your ACS membership ID card, pay your membership dues, and sign up for the wide variety of ACS Insurance Programs and other discount programs.

Fellows also may download FACS artwork for use on their website, letterhead, lab coat, and more.

Visit your ACS Member Profile page and make sure you are taking advantage of everything your ACS membership has to offer. You may access your profile page by logging into the facs.org website using your member login information.

Once you have logged into the site, select “My Profile” from the menu bar, and then “My Profile Overview.” If you do not know your member login information, you can retrieve it securely through the facs.org login page.
