Overview
Mission
The eastern Pennsylvania chapter of the american college of surgeons was incorporated in april 1993, under the Pennsylvania nonprofit corporation law of 1988. Effective january 1, 2003, the chapter merged with the central Pennsylvania chapter of the american college of surgeons, inc. And changed its name to the keystone chapter, american college of surgeons, inc. The purpose of the chapter is to elevate the standards of surgery and to educate the profession and the public regarding the special training involved in the practice of surgery. In addition, the chapter unites members in their efforts to improve the quality of surgical patient care and provides a medium through which surgical experiences may be presented.
What it reported doing in 2025
As part of the spring educational conference, the keystone chapter hosted the annual surgical jeopardy tournament, challenging residents on their knowledge and skills in the surgical specialty. Six teams, consisting of three resident members, competed in the tournament structured after the television show jeopardy, answered questions related to surgical techniques, diagnosis, and identification of surgical scholars. The winning team had their name added to the coveted surgical jeopardy trophy and the opportunity to showcase the trophy at their institution until the next jeopardy tournament. Chapter leadership also participated in the american college of surgeons fellowship applicant interview process, revising candidates for fellowship designation (facs) on behalf of the college.
