Program Committee

The Program Committee consists of the current Program Chair and three Vice Chairs, with participation from the President of ASCRS. The committee is responsible for the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the scientific program at the Annual Scientific Meeting. The committee selects all speakers and educational symposia and ensures that all educational and training products reflect the Society's vision and mission without regard to outside influence. Committee members develop, implement, and sustain an integrated educational strategy for medical professionals. Additionally, the Committee Chair-Elect, Vice Chair-Elects (multiple), and ASCRS President-Elect are invited to participate in quarterly update calls with Program Committee to ensure efficient succession planning. These committee members serve a non-renewable two-year term of service. All appointments are made by the Vice President at time of appointment. The Annual Meeting Abstract Reviewers are responsible for the review and grading of abstracts submitted to the Annual Scientific Meeting. The review and grading occur between October – November. The abstract reviewers serve a three-year term.
