This month, Dr. David B. Hoyt, ACS Executive Director, offers our readers a review of ACS initiatives in 2015 to support surgeons in training and in practice. An international surgical program participant, Dr. Michael L. Bentz, describes the experience as a “partnership among friends.” And the American Pain Society has published a new postop pain guideline that surgeons should find informative.

Don’t miss the commentary by Dr. Peter Angelos on the complications surrounding a surgeon’s recommendation not to operate.
