Surgical Societies

Yale’s Department of Surgery is proud to support the missions of a growing number of national surgical societies.

We encourage our faculty, fellows, residents, and medical students to contact our institutional representatives to learn about engagement opportunities, mentorship, programming, and membership.

Participation is open to all faculty and trainees, regardless of individual identity or demographics.
