The American College of Surgeons (ACS) is a scientific and educational organization of surgeons, founded in 1913, that strives to improve the care of the surgical patient and safeguard standards of care in an optimal and ethical practice environment. The ACS is the largest organization of surgeons in the world, with more than 90,000 members globally.
The ACS is seeking its next Senior Vice President, Education (SVP) to join a dynamic, innovative, and creative leadership team. The SVP is an essential and far-ranging role that will transform the development and assessment of skills for surgeons in all career stages. This role offers the opportunity to modernize the platforms that deliver comprehensive continuing education and professional development resources to surgeons and other healthcare professionals that prioritize clinical excellence, patient safety, and practice improvement. The position requires engaged, inspirational leadership and effective management to create—and deploy—high-quality educational programs that draw on the latest techniques, evolving needs and technology. The next leader will add value to Fellows and members, and improve the quality of care. The development of programs and services is a core focus, with the SVP committed to creating innovative learning activities—including hands on practice and digital content—tailored to the diverse needs of ACS members and the healthcare community at large. The SVP will collaborate closely with national surgical educators, health systems, and organizations. A accomplished leader, the SVP will be a collaborator and contributor who fosters a culture of empowerment, highest functionality, and professional growth in a large, multi-faceted team. This role is critical to prepare members to practice effectively in an evolving environment and requires a visible presence and representation in a progressively more complex practice environment.
The SVP must be a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons with substantial experience in the educational and clinical care domains, with the capacity to thrive as an executive leader. They will assume oversight and accountability of an integral pillar of the ACS that assures its relevance and impact on the House of Surgery and healthcare broadly. The SVP will be an adept change manager, able to build an agile, high-performing, data-driven division that sets the pace nationally for surgical education and adds distinctive value to Fellows and members. They will demonstrate the passion and ability to lead and engage staff in a high-achieving, mission-driven organization with vision, humility, creativity, collaboration, innovation, and the continuous pursuit of excellence. This individual will bring experience and insight to undergraduate, graduate, and continuing medical education and accreditation. The SVP will be a surgeon with exceptional academic credentials, financial savvy, and excellent communication, relationship-building, and influencing skills. This candidate will be a strategic thinker with a demonstrated portfolio of deliverables, expertise in business plan modelling, and an ability to envision and create the future state of medical education.
