Your Invitation to Join
The Florida Chapter, ACS would like to invite you to become a member of one of the most progressive and active state chapters in the country! It's your membership that will continue to let the Chapter focus on important issues facing Florida surgeons.
With your Florida Chapter membership you will receive outstanding member benefits such as E-News, our monthly email which features articles on current topics, legislative alerts, and event information. You will also receive periodical updates through Pulse NOW!, Florida Chapter's official fax newsletter. Members also have access to a newly-redesigned Florida Chapter website with a completely new look, streamlined navigation, and special areas for surgeons and consumers, as well as an online expanded membership directory.
In an effort to boost the awareness of Florida Chapter Fellows, the "Find a Surgeon" feature is available on the Florida Chapter website. Using this feature affords all visitors to the website the ability to locate a surgeon in their area. As the Florida Chapter, ACS is a common source for Florida surgery inquiries, what better place to find a surgeon who takes their profession seriously. It is our hope that this feature will act as a big benefit that will manifest itself in patient referrals and giving our fellows a leg up on non-member Florida surgeons.
In addition, we are monitoring expanded scope of practice of physician assistants and changes in mandatory requirements of basic health insurance.
