Diversity, equity, and inclusion have quite appropriately become a central focus for surgical departments and organizations. This program will share the initiatives introduced by the American College of Surgeons and by five of the Royal Colleges: Canada, Edinburgh, England, Glasgow, and Ireland. These colleges collectively represent over 230,000 surgeons from North, Central, and South America, Europe, Asia and the Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, and include fellows and members from Australia and New Zealand. The Presidents and past Presidents of these 6 Colleges will share their structural organizational and programmatic endeavors to ensure that successful DEI programs are ubiquitous within their structures. They will share multiple valuable solutions which can be adapted by surgeons on a local level throughout the world.
