Dear Program Directors, Coordinators, and Colorectal Residents,

We are delighted to invite your ACGME Colon and Rectal Surgery residents participate in the 16th Annual Colorectal Residents Career Course, part of the ASCRS Surgical Leadership Institute in Cleveland, OH! As you know, this course is a much-anticipated experience. We again have an impressive faculty including Past Presidents of the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgery as well as leaders in the field of Colon and Rectal Surgery. There will be a mix of talks, panels, and small groups to provide participants with essential knowledge and a unique perspective as they prepare for their future in the “real world”.

The Course will be held on Friday, October 24, and Saturday, October 25 at the Hotel Cleveland. Meeting registration fee, hotel and meals are all covered through generous grants from our corporate sponsors and ASCRS. Space is limited to the first 70 board eligible colon and rectal surgery residents, so early registration is encouraged!
