ACFAS offers a variety of ways for our members to get involved.
Every year, ACFAS welcomes new volunteers to provide the energy required to bring to fruition the College’s strategic initiatives. This work happens through committee, task force, educational program faculty, and regions. With every volunteer, the College grows more energized, more diverse and inclusive, and better equipped to lead the organization into the future.

Faculty Application
ACFAS has had an increasing number of individuals interested in becoming faculty. Given the limited number of faculty positions, we are temporarily closing faculty applications as we evaluate our faculty application and assignment process. Please watch for correspondence from ACFAS regarding the updated process.
The College’s three educational program committees are responsible for developing the specialty’s most respected CME curriculum, including the ACFAS Annual Scientific Conference, hands-on surgical skills courses, other single-topic seminars including practice management and regional symposia. They also develop content for podcasts, e-books, and other e-learning tools.
ACFAS always seeks to diversify its faculty with new instructors who possess the expertise and experience needed to maintain the College’s high standards and attendee expectations. A Board position statement outlines the variety of expectations and qualities considered in the speaker selection process (see below).
