Our Mission
We aim to improve quality of care in patients with acute general surgical emergencies. We will do this through nationwide collaboration and research to determine the infrastructure and processes required to deliver high-quality, urgent/emergent surgical care in Canada.
Our History
In 2009 the Canadian Association of General Surgeons held an Acute Care Surgery summit in Victoria, British Columbia. Since that time, home-grown, dedicated services for patients with urgent / emergent general surgery conditions have been established at hospitals across Canada! Much has changed in 10 years and our collaborative has grown substantially to include surgeons from 6 provinces in both community and academic practices
Our People
We are a diverse group of surgeons and critical care physicians. We practice in academic and community centers accros Canada and represent 5 of the 10 Canadian provinces.
