The Society of Black Academic Surgeons is honored to participate in the International Colorectal Disease Symposium focusing on disparities in the management and outcomes of cancer patients in the Black and underrepresented communities. Importantly, the symposium will review strategies to mitigate disparate outcomes through research, policy and clinical service. A team of renowned researchers will lead a robust discussion regarding the roles of the surgical oncology workforce demographics, breast cancer screening, safety net hospitals, colorectal cancer surgery, and clinical trials in achieving cancer health equity.

This program presents the many facets of colorectal surgery as a profession and a surgical specialty. The DEI Committee of the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons was founded in 2020 in the midst of social and medical injustices. Our program today will feature the extensive important work being done by the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons, as well as initiatives on the horizon, to make colorectal surgery a more equitable and just specialty for the medical community and society at large.
