Missouri Chapter of American College of Surgeons
Advancing Surgery Across Missouri
The Missouri Chapter of the American College of Surgeons brings together surgeons across specialties to strengthen surgical care through education, advocacy, leadership, and professional connection.
One Chapter. Every Surgical Specialty.
MOACS is the statewide chapter of the American College of Surgeons and the only Missouri organization representing surgeons across all surgical specialties. Since 1967, we have connected Missouri’s surgical community through continuing education, collaboration, advocacy, and opportunities for professional involvement.
If you are an experienced surgeon, early-career physician, resident, fellow, or medical student, MOACS provides a place to connect, contribute, and help shape the future of surgery in Missouri.
