The Society’s annual meeting convenes experts across these specialties to share emerging research, refine surgical techniques and explore new diagnostic and treatment approaches to improve patient care.
Dr. Mutch’s election reflects his longstanding leadership and commitment to advancing the field. Colleagues across disciplines congratulate him on this prestigious honor and look forward to his leadership in the year ahead.
