themselves as investigators and educators; to provide a forum for senior surgical residents, fellows and junior faculty members to present papers on subjects of clinical, laboratory or educational research; and to facilitate the development of young surgeons and surgical scientists as investigators and educators.
SUS: To advance the art and science of surgery by (1) the encouragement of its members to pursue original investigations both in the clinic and in the laboratory; (2) the development of methods of graduate teaching of surgery with particular reference to the resident system; (3) free and informal interchange of ideas pertaining to the above subjects.
