The 鶹ýand Veterans

As a veteran, we hope you will consider applying your military skills and experience to a rewarding civilian career with the 鶹ý (ACS) and help in our mission to improve outcomes for surgical patients worldwide. We believe veterans make great employees because they have unique skills, particularly in the areas of:

  • Leadership
  • Project management
  • Decision making
  • Critical thinking

All of these skills are completely transferable—and essential—within our organization.

Military-Focused Activities

The 鶹ýhas a great track record of partnering with the military on many fronts. Most recently, in May 2015, the Military Health System Strategic Partnership 鶹ý (MHSSPACS) was launched as a coordinated effort between the U.S. Department of Defense Military Health System and the 鶹ýto ensure that current and next-generation surgeons are prepared to provide optimal care to patients injured on and off the battlefield and to facilitate the bilateral exchange of best practices between the military and the civilian sector. The Strategic Partnershipwith the Department of Defense was announced at Clinical Congress 2014.

Further, in 2015 with the experiences from the most recent conflicts in the Middle East and the renewed interest in combat casualty care, there was a strong desire among military surgeons who are members of the 鶹ýto resurrect the Excelsior Surgical Society and to make the College its official home. This desire became a reality on Sunday, October 4, when the met for the first time in Chicago.

We are also an organization who has supported the Joining Forces initiative, which advocates for veterans having access to jobs, higher education, and quality health care services.
