The American College of Surgeons (ACS) is dedicated to improving the care of surgical patients as well as safeguarding standards of care in an optimal and ethical practice environment. As a surgeon, ACS membership forms an integral part of your profession, and becoming a fellow allows you to draw on an abundance of professional development resources, educational opportunities, and community connections to help you succeed. In today’s episode, Dr. Dan Hawkins, an oral maxillofacial surgeon and assistant professor at the Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) School of Dentistry, sheds some light on what it takes for single- and dual-degree surgeons to become Fellows of the ACS (FACS) and what the practical benefits are, including continued interdisciplinary collaboration with other surgical specialties. We also discuss the importance of seizing every opportunity to learn and keeping an open mind when deciding whether to go into private practice or academics, plus so much more!
