Letter From the ityRoboticThoracicAssociationApplicationPatient careAccreditation803InstitutionLEADERSHIPHPBNumber of Fellowshipsin Existence by YearProgram directorsFoundationIn the early days of fellowships there were a just handful arranged through a conversationand a handshake. In a few short years the number of programs grew exponentially andthe Fellowship Council (FC) emerged as the accrediting body in response to the need fora universal application and matching process. All the while, programs were supportedalmost exclusively by industry. With the advent of the Sunshine Act there arose a need fora third party funder of fellowships and the FSF was borne of that need.FELLOWSHIPAwards Advanced MISInnovationColorectalDemandDear Colleagues and Friends,Advanced training20042018What I have found in recent months is that there is confusion in the surgical communityabout the roles and working relationships of the Fellowship Council (FC), the FSF and theSponsoring Societies of the FC. What has also come to light is a fairly strong consensusamong industry in the intrinsic value of this advanced training, but also a need for harddata to illustrate the actual outcomes.GENERAL SURGERYEducationThis year’s annual report is aimed at bringing clarity where this is confusion whilehighlighting the work of the Foundation. I also want to share with you some exciting newdevelopments that begin to bridge the gap between anecdotal evidence and scientificconclusions. At the core of our work is the fellowship experience and I am proud to sharesome highlights from the most recent graduating class of fellows.Thank you for helping the Foundation for Surgical Fellowships to continue to advancesurgical care through advanced training.Sincerely,Mark Talamini, MD, MBA, President, Foundation for Surgical FellowshipsMARK TALAMINI, MD, MBAFSF 2017-2018 Annual Report www.surgicalfellowships.org 2
