This year marks the 50th birthday of the Association for Academic Surgery! We interview key surgeons in this week's episode to learn about the rise of the AAS and the current and future goals of the society. We are joined by current president Dr. Justin Dimick and past presidents, Dr. Charles Brunicardi and Dr. Lillian Kao.

A great listen that not only touches on the association itself, but also the ever-changing world of research.

Also, BTK will be covering the Academic Surgical Congress in Jacksonville fromFebruary 2-4, 2016! We will be giving live daily updates of the large conference that combines both the AAS and SUS (Society of University Surgeons). Going to be a good ride!
