Had an amazing time visiting, seeing old friends, and making new ones. Very much appreciate being able to get a glimpse of its wonderful people, culture, and achievements.

Sad to leave #ACSQSC23 (especially as that means exchanging 70F weather for 100F)! But, already planning for next year!! What do you want to learn about surgical quality and safety?? American College of Surgeons Clifford Ko MD

Thank you all, especially Dr. Clifford Ko MD for creating this fantastic group & Bonnie Simpson Mason for giving me the opportunity to join you all.

It is clear that the organizers and attendees of #ACSQSC23 are a special group who will continue to infuse equity into quality!

We’re collaborating with American College of Surgeons @theQcommunity The Royal College of Surgeons of England to launch a new study to guide improvements to care in surgery. If you’ve had a surgical procedure take part by 16 July and provide patients’ views on what’s important to you. ths.im/43Vah4P
