Advancing patient care through the thoughtful exchange of ideas.

Of paramount importance was the mandate to commit to long-term relationships with other members and their families. Indeed, over the past 15 years, this group has become an extended family with deep connections that extend far beyond the boundaries of our profession.

Mission

Develop a collegial atmosphere of friendship and community for members and their families, to encourage long-term interactions and sharing of ideas.

Purpose

Bring together a group of physicians who share a common interest in shoulder and elbow surgery for the purposes of:
1. Providing a peer group with whom to share clinical cases
2. Furthering our own education in shoulder and elbow surgery
3. Develop a network of shoulder and elbow surgeons for patient care and referral
4. Provide a platform for evaluating patient outcome in multi-centered studies

History

ACESS was founded in 2005 by a core group of shoulder and elbow surgeons. Membership is by invitation with specific criteria that is voted on by the active membership. The Annual Scientific meeting is open to all members and to industry for society support.
