The SUS Leadership Agility Program, designed in collaboration with Kellogg School of Management, equips leaders to advance their careers in academic medicine amidst an ever-changing landscape. The September 18-21, 2016 program leverages Kellogg’s strength in meeting the unique design requirements of the healthcare sector through faculty and practitioners who have instructed thousands of healthcare professionals on their leadership journey. This program is rooted in theory-driven knowledge and concrete strategies that allow participants to put new ideas into action.

The course will take place at the James L. Allen Center, which is located on Northwestern University’s Evanston, Illinois campus. The Allen Center is designed to facilitate peer learning and informal interactions among faculty and participants. During your stay, you will enjoy a private bedroom and bathroom and your commute to the program each morning is only a brief elevator ride or quick walk downstairs from your room. The Evanston Campus is about a 30-minute drive from Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport.

Who Should Attend: Aspiring Surgical Leaders, Division Chiefs, Center Leaders, Hospital and Medical School Leaders (note: this course is limited to 50 participants)

2017 SUS MCC

 

  

The ASC has become the most important meeting of the year for clinical and basic surgical sciences. The 12th Annual ASC will take place from February 7-9, 2017 at the Encore Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. The AAS and SUS expect even greater participation and encourage all members to participate in the growth of academic surgery.

The ASC is an exciting venue to hear and discuss the latest scientific advances in all disciplines pertinent to academic surgery and the quality of the meeting depends on the submission of your best work. The breadth of work being presented includes topics in education, clinical outcomes, health services research, as well as the basic and translational science.

Encore (2017 ASC Headquarters Hotel)

The Encore is the headquarters hotel for the 2017 ASC Conference. Located steps from Wynn Las Vegas yet under the same roof, Encore’s fanciful and intimate atmosphere features 2,034 suites, sunlit corridors with flowering atrium, sprawling pools visible from throughout the property, gardens, mosaics and vibrant butterflies that reveal themselves among layers of detail and timeless décor. Unlike anything anywhere, the environment is both uniquely Wynn and distinctly Encore.
