Since its inception, the Society of Asian Academic Surgeons has been committed to the personal and career development of Asian academic surgeons. In keeping with this mission, the Society of Asian Academic Surgeons (SAAS) Foundation supports the SAAS Visiting Professor Program, the SAAS-Society of University Surgeons Promising Leaders Program, SAAS Diversity and Inclusion Initiative, and other important programs. If an institution pledges/donates $2,000 per year, it will be named an Institutional Member. Institutional members will have access to the Job Board, recognition at the SAAS Annual Meeting and supported events, and unlimited memberships for trainees (students, residents, fellows).
