SUS Resident/Fellow Scholar Awards at the ASC
The SUS offers two awards annually for the best presentations by residents/fellows in the plenary sessions of the Academic Surgical Congress(ASC). Eligible abstracts will be those selected for presentation at any of the plenary sessions and presented by a surgical resident/fellow in any specialty, in good standing in their department, where the Senior Author is a SUS Member in good standing. Presentations are graded by members of the SUS Executive Council and the winner receives support to travel to their choice of either the European Society for Surgical Research (ESSR) or the Surgical Research Society (SRS, formerly SARS) Annual Meetings. The runner up will receive support to travel to the other meeting. For questions regarding SUS membership status, contact the SUS Member Services Department at membership@susweb.org.
**Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ESSR and SRS meeting dates and platforms are subject to change. For the 2021 Academic Surgical Congress, the availability of these awards will be announced closer to February 2021.
