Because of our worldwide scope we are able to offer educational programming in exotic locations such as Vienna, Austria; Manila, Philippines; Cairo, Egypt and Nanjing, China; and as close to home as Memphis, Portland, Denver, Annapolis, Seattle, Chicago and San Antonio, Texas site of our 2023 Annual Surgical Update. But our educational programming is just one aspect of what we do at ICS through our world-wide network of members. Many of our members also have a unique interest in global surgery and their participation in missions and surgical teams in many of the countries mentioned, has provided desperately needed services and assistance to the needy.

Your opportunities within the ICS are not limited to only humanitarian and educational offerings, but also to leadership positions at the national and international level immediately upon acceptance into the society. This facet of the College is quite unique and is why no matter where you come from, you have the opportunity to become the ICS World President.

If you are a surgeon practicing in the United States, please consider this my personal invitation to you to join one of the most diverse surgical institutions in the world. As you continue your visit to our website, don’t forget to check the links to some of our other affiliated websites like www.icsglobal.org (main site for ICS worldwide) and www.imss.org (our surgical museum). ICS members of the US Section are encouraged to login to the members' only part of the site for exclusive benefits such as our Career Center.

 

I hope you enjoy your visit.
