Applying for Fellowship in the Southern Surgical Association

The 2023 SSA membership application cycle will open on April 1st, 2023.

Only SSA Active and Senior Fellows can initiate a new candidate application for membership through the member portal and submit a candidate’s name and contact information. The Primary member sponsor will need to select two additional SSA members who will serve as the secondary and tertiary sponsors for the proposed candidate. All three (3) sponsoring Fellows should submit a letter of recommendation through the member application portal no later than June 30, 2023.

Candidates for fellowship must meet the following qualifications to be considered eligible for membership:

  • Candidates must have attended at least one annual in-person meeting as a guest, prior to the current application year. The meeting year(s) attended must be stated in each letter of nomination and listed on the candidate’s application.
  • Candidates must be in good standing with their State Association.
  • An applicant’s experience at the time they are being proposed for fellowship should include a minimum of ten professional work years with no less than three of those years being in active practice.
  • An applicant’s area of practice should be primarily in the field of surgery.

All required documents (application form, curriculum vitae, and three letters of support) must be submitted electronically no later than June 30, 2023, by midnight EST. An application is considered incomplete if the above requirements have not been met by the due date.
