The ·¬ÇÑÉçÇøapp History and Archives Committee offers a Young Surgeons Essay Competition that is intended to recognize and support young surgeons who are interested in the historical roots of the surgical profession and are dedicated to studying it. The objective is to produce a scholarly essay for publication using original historical research that will advance knowledge of the past, thus promoting both young surgeon historians and the history of surgery itself.

Young surgeons are invited to submit an essay on a historical topic of their choosing. The winner and runner up will be invited to publish their paper in a surgical journal, withÌýpublication costs covered, if accepted.

Entries are invited from young surgeons who must be the first and primary author.

Young surgeons are defined as:

  • Fellows 45 or younger
  • Associate Fellows 45 or younger
  • Resident members
  • Medical student members, who must be the first and primary author

Fellows older than 45 years of age may serve as additional or senior authors.

Submissions for the 2025 essay competition are now open, and the deadline to submit an entry is January 10, 2025. View the guidelines for the essay contest, including how and to whom to submit, and contact ·¬ÇÑÉçÇøapp Archivist Michael Beesley at mbeesley@facs.orgÌýfor more information.Ìý
