Debas, MD 7 February 14 - 16, 2012 SUS LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD Patricia K. Donahoe, MD Marshall K. Bartlett Professor, Department of Surgery, HMS Director, Pediatric Surgical Research Laboratories, MGH lished over 270 peer-reviewed publications and received NIH funding in developmental biology concentrating on Mullerian Inhibiting Substance (MIS) as a potential anticancer agent against human ovarian carcinomas, the molecular mechanisms of sex differentiation and the surgical reconstruction of children with intersex disorders. Since stepping down from clinical surgery, Dr. Donahoe has focused on the genetics of birth defects, particularly Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia, with the hypothesis that major congenital anomalies are the result of genetic mutations that in aggregate will reveal molecular pathways that can serve as targets for new therapies. Dr. Donahoe grew up in Massachusetts, a graduate from Braintree High School, and received a B.S. Magnum Cum Laude from Boston University, and was a member of the Athletic Hall of Fame at both institutions. She received her M.D. from the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York. Dr. Donahoe has had an outstanding pediatric surgical career with Massachusetts General Hospital, specializing in genitourinary, abdominal, and thoracic repairs. Currently, she serves as Director of the Pediatric Surgical Research Laboratories and also as Chief Emerita of Pediatric Surgical Services at Massachusetts General Hospital where she has worked virtually her entire career in a wide variety of pediatric surgical and research endeavors. Dr. Donahoe is the Marshall K. Bartlett Professor of Surgery (Tenured) at the Harvard Medical School. She is an Associate Member of the Broad Institute, a Principle Faculty Member of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, and an Associate Faculty member of the Center for Human Genomic Research at the Massachusetts General Hospital. She is a member of the Board of Trustees of Boston University and of a number of Scientific Advisory Boards. She has pub- Dr. Donahoe is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences. She is a past President of the Boston Surgical Society, the American Pediatric Surgical Association, and the current President of the New England Surgical Society. Dr. Donahoe has received research prizes and honorary degrees for her work on MIS, which is being developed as a therapeutic for ovarian and other reproductive cancers. She is the recipient of the Department of Defense Life Time Achievement Academy Dean Award for ovarian cancer. She hopes that her more recent studies of the genetics of congenital abnormalities will lead to therapies that can be instituted in utero or shortly after birth to alleviate some of these conditions. Starting in 2005, the Society of University Surgeons initiated a Lifetime Achievement Award (LTAA). This award was designed to recognize individuals who have had a sustained career in academic surgery with contributions to the surgical sciences. In addition, these individuals have demonstrated a commitment to the Society of University Surgeons whereby they have participated in the Society even after superannuating to Senior Membership status. Their participation in the Society is evidenced by their attendance at the meetings yearly and active participation in discussion of papers, attendance of the banquets and society functions. The Society of University Surgeons seeks to honor and recognize these individuals because of their embodiment of the principles of the Society. We seek to recognize these individuals to establish role models for younger generations of surgeons to honor and emulate their contributions to the science of surgery, and moreover to the Society of University Surgeons.

Joe Hines, Richard Hodin, Lillian Kao, Melina Kibbe, Robert Krouse, Michael Longaker, Rebecca Minter, Timothy Pawlik, Carla Marie Pugh, Edith Tzeng, George Yang, and Wei Zhou The primary purpose of this session is to bring together young faculty with more senior faculty for the purposes of mentoring. The specific focus will be on grant writing for the purpose of obtaining the first extramural grant (K grants) or for moving from a mentored grant to independent investigator status (K to R transition). We will utilize several small group sessions that will allow for critical review of grants in progress followed by a year-long mentoring effort. At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to: 1. Develop grant-writing skills. 2. Provide critical feedback on grants in progress. 3. Establish mentoring relationships for junior faculty. 7:30 AM - 9:30 AM INTEGRATED ORAL PRESENTATION SESSIONS I BEETHOVEN 1 17.1.Reliability Of Risk-Adjusted Outcomes As Hospital Quality Measures; A.

Dear AAS Member, On behalf of the Association for Academic Surgery (AAS) Executive Council, I am pleased to announce the official launch of the new dynamic branding for the society. I personally want to thank the members of the AAS Executive Council, who spent many hours over the past six months carefully selecting the color schemes, logo and design elements of the AAS and choosing the palettes that capture the essence of what the AAS is…a strong, inclusive and energetic organization focused on providing opportunities for young academic surgeons. We are very excited about this new branding, and I hope you have noticed the new look on our web site and in our newsletters, membership brochures, Fall Courses brochures and all printed materials. Please go to our web site at www.aasurg.org to view all of the new changes. As always, your suggestions on improving our communication and web site content are appreciated. Very best regards, Scott A. LeMaire, MD AAS President Information on AAS Research Award winners, new members, research opportunities and meetings can be found on the AAS web site at www.aasurg.org.

Olthoff, MD, FACS Philadelphia, PA The Association for Academic Surgery Foundation (AASF) partners with the Association for Academic Surgery (AAS) to provide monetary support for surgical research through grants to surgeon scientists and to organizations which support surgical research and surgical research education. The AASF is one of few non-profit organizations that support the research efforts of surgeon-scientists. This support is critical to translate new discoveries into clinical advancements for the patients we serve. Without support, "would be" surgeon scientists choose to limit the scope of their practice to clinical service. Surgeon-scientists have an amazing track record of medical discoveries from principles of antisepsis and anesthesia to surgical procedures such as the Blalock-Taussig shunt. The loss of surgeon-scientists is an alarming trend, which risks the loss of significant advancements in surgical care going forward. This threat is largely due to a lack of available funding. The mission of the AASF is to expand sources offunding for surgical research. The AAS and AASF partner to provide support for the following Grants/Awards/Programs: • • • • • • The Association for Academic Surgery Foundation Research Fellowship Award AAS Student Research Awards AAS Student Travel Grants West African Fundamentals of Research and Career Development Course Academic Surgical Congress Outstanding Medical Student Award Academic Surgical Congress Presentation and Manuscript Awards We ask you to partner with us in our mission. Invest in the AAS and the future of surgical research and surgical research education by making a contribution to the Association for Academic Surgery Foundation.

Two of the presenters at the Plenary Session of the annual SUS meeting will be selected to receive Travel Awards. Selection is made by members of the Executive Council, past presidents of the SUS and representatives of foreign surgical societies. The Publications Chair coordinates the selection process. The merits of the research, the quality of the presentation, and the skills demonstrated during the discussion will be considered in selecting award recipients. Each award recipient will attend either the SARS or ESSR meeting in the year following their selection where they will present their research. The SUS provides round trip coach air fare for the award recipient, while the foreign societies provide accommodations and registration fees for the meeting. The award is intended for surgical resident trainees or surgical junior faculty. INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP AWARDS Physician leaders from the SUS are chosen each year to represent the SUS at the annual meetings of its sister international surgical societies. In each case, they are expected to present some aspect of their scientific or clinical work and participate in important interchanges with the leaders of the various international surgical societies.
