The Annual Scientific Congress (ASC):
- is the College's major educational annual activity
- is the largest multi-disciplinary surgical meeting held in
Australia and New Zealand
- provides Fellows with a valuable opportunity to present their
experience, wisdom and opinions to their colleagues, in a
challenging and truly international forum
- has different scientific programs that offer participants the
opportunity to learn and experience first hand the advances in
surgical specialties.
The ASC consists of plenary and concurrent sessions for
specialties. Each participating specialty invites an eminent
authority as a Distinguished Visitor, around whom the specialty
program is built. Distinguished Visitors are selected from overseas
or within Australia.
The ASC is held over four days and provides ample opportunity
for inter-disciplinary as well as specialised discussion.
History - The first general scientific meeting
of the College was held in Canberra in 1928. Since then, meetings
have been held annually, with the venue rotating through the main
cities of Australia, New Zealand and Asia.
