Welcome, The objectives of the Society are to promote an interest in and further the study of clinical surgery. The primary objective is to bring together interested surgeons and other physicians to discuss various phases of clinical surgery. These meetings occur twice annually with the spring meeting in metropolitan Chicago and the fall meetings in a downstate or out of state location as determined by the Board of Governors.
