The Breakers, Palm Beach, FL
The 132nd Annual Meeting has been cancelled due to COVID-19.
However, in keeping with the academic spirit of the Association, we encourage members to submit scholarly works in the form of abstracts as if the meeting were to proceed as usual. Submitted abstracts will be reviewed by the program committee in customary fashion.
JACS (with many thanks to Past President Tim Eberlein) has agreed to publish accepted abstracts in the form of full-length manuscripts, each with one invited commentary in block in the journal, as is typically done each year for the Southern Surgical Association.
Additionally, we will continue to proceed with the usual process of reviewing and accepting new candidate applications for SSA membership.
For those who have registered and paid for the December meeting, registration fees will be reimbursed through your original form of payment.
