Overview
Mission
The surgical outcomes club ("soc") is a consortium of surgeons and scientists committed to understanding and improving the practice of surgery.

These include technological innovation and proliferation in an era of tightening constraints on spending; concerns about disparities in patient access and outcomes; and variations in surgical quality across both hospitals and surgeons.soc's mission is to help develop the knowledge base and policy framework for meeting these challenges. Toward this end, soc provides a forum for the sharing of ideas, facilitate networking among researchers, and help develop the outcomes research leaders of the future.
