Committee to Advance Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity

Mission

With an unwavering commitment to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion, we aim to ensure diversity and equity across the American College of Surgeons’ initiatives for clinical quality and safety, surgical training and research, and professional well being by eliminating bias and discrimination. Through educational programs, engagement initiatives, and collaborative partnerships, we provide the tools and resources necessary to promote awareness and understanding, social justice, and inclusivity for all surgeons.
