TN-ACS Annual Meeting - Topics and Your Input Needed

Dear Colleague,

The 2023 Annual Meeting of the TN Chapter of the American College of Surgeons (TNACS) will be held at the recently-renovated Fall Creek Falls State Park Lodge July 28-30.   We are excited to be returning to a more casual, affordable, family-friendly environment. 

As Chair of the Program Committee of TNACS, I am seeking your input.   The desire of the Committee is to include topics of importance to community surgeons and to provide networking opportunities for surgeons from all practice settings from across the state.  Since we are meeting in your ‘neck of the woods’, we want to include topics that are of interest to you.   Additionally, we have invited a few legislators to attend the meeting which will give all of us an opportunity to share our concerns with State and Federal policy-makers. 

Would you give us 5 minutes of your time and answer a few quick questions? 

Thank you very much.

Heath Giles, MD, FACS
Chair, TNACS Program Committee
President-Elect, TNACS
