The 19th Annual Academic Surgical Congress (ASC) will take place February 6-8, 2024, at the Washington Hilton in Washington, DC. We were so proud of the outstanding 18th Annual ASC this past February and it was only possible with your engagement and each of you submitting your best work. Next February we are excited to gather together and share our work. Our continued growth and success depend on you!

The ASC is always the best venue to hear and discuss the latest scientific advances in all disciplines of academic surgery, and the quality of the meeting depends on the submission of your best work. The breadth of work being presented includes topics in education, clinical outcomes, health services research, as well as basic and translational science. We are actively working to again provide a strong program, which will be engaging and inspiring from start to finish.

The ASC, which is jointly sponsored by the Association for Academic Surgery and the Society of University Surgeons, will accept abstract submissions until the deadline on Friday, August 18, 2023. As in previous years, abstracts will be considered for presentation in full or quickshot oral format. Full oral talks will consist of an 8-minute presentation followed by 4-minutes of discussion. The quick shot talks consist of a 3-minute oral presentation, 5 slides maximum, and 2 minutes of discussion. Please note, we will not accept case studies this year.

Given our record-breaking abstract submission numbers over the past few years-and in order to maximize the number of participants in the ASC – we will continue to limit the number of abstracts that an individual first author may present to TWO presentations. There is no limit to the number of abstracts that may be submitted, and if more than two abstracts are accepted the two highest scoring abstracts will be selected for presentation. Please note that there is no limit on the number of abstracts in which an author may be included as a middle or senior author.

Abstracts accepted for presentation at the ASC are eligible for full manuscript submission to the Journal of Surgical Research (AAS) and Surgery (SUS). To be considered for AAS Awards, manuscripts must be submitted to the Journal of Surgical Research (JSR) by December 1, 2023. Authors must select AAS/ASC manuscript as the article type, include a reference to the ASC meeting in both the cover letter and just before the references. Otherwise, ASC manuscripts may be submitted to Surgery or the Journal of Surgical Research (JSR) by March 1, 2024 for special meeting related consideration.

We hope that each of you will make plans to join us in person in Washington, DC next year!

With very best wishes,

Important Reminders

The 2024 AAES Annual Meeting will be an in-person event in Dallas, Texas, USA. All presentations (Oral Podium and Poster) will be given in person.
Only original research will be considered (must not have been previously presented or published).
There is a 350-word limit for abstracts. NO GRAPHICS OR TABLES will be accepted with abstract submission.
The abstract copy MUST include the following: Background, Methods, Results, and Conclusion.
NO reference to the authors or the institution should appear within the title or body of the abstract.
Please do not submit case reports. A call for Interesting Case Submissions will be made after the abstract submission has been closed.
In accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), authors will be required to disclose all financial relationships with any companies they have had over the past 24 months. Omission or misrepresentation of financial relationships is academic dishonesty. Evidence of such that is discovered before, during, or after the AAES Meeting will lead to the removal of the abstract from the program and the published proceedings, referral to the Ethics Committee and AAES Council for punitive action up to and including a ban from presenting at future AAES Meetings. For more information on the Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education, please visit accme.org/standards.
For trainees wishing to compete for the Van Heerden and Kinder Awards, select ‘yes’ to answer the relevant question. Submitted abstracts will be reviewed by the Program committee. The top abstracts will be selected for participation in the competition, and podium presentations will be scored during the scientific sessions. Abstracts selected for the competition will be denoted as such in the final program.
