The Society of University Surgeons Foundation (SUSF) is dedicated to preserving and advancing surgical education throughout the United States, allowing surgeons to pursue a career in academic medicine to benefit current and future patients. It’s widely known that the United States is rapidly losing its competitive edge in surgical scientific breakthroughs and advances due to diminishing federal funds and the impact of managed care, among other factors. Thankfully, the SUSF maintains an active pulse on the trajectory – and works diligently with your support to ensure surgeons are afforded opportunities to shift the paradigm. As such, tax-deductible gifts and grants to the SUSF – used to support a variety of fellowships and scholarships – are derived from corporations, foundations, grateful patients, and individual gifts of Society members. Continued support ensures that the SUSF can continue its mission to advance and support the art and science of surgery.
