Meetings
We welcome anyone who currently practices in a rural community or has an interest in rural surgery to attend. Furthermore, attendance and membership is not limited solely to surgeons. Residents, Advanced Practice Providers, and medical students are encouraged to be active participants in this society through membership and annual meetings, as we all bring unique value through experience.
