OUR MISSION

Promoting excellence in surgery through academic international collaboration.

The Indian American Surgical Association (IASA), founded in 2013, strives to develop a platform for promoting excellence in surgical care, research, education, and service oriented projects in India and the United States.

The primary mission of the IASA is to provide an international forum for presenting the developing state of the art and science of general and subspecialty surgery, and the elevation of the standards of the medical and surgical profession.

This mission is accomplished primarily by conducting an annual scientific meeting consisting of selected presentations containing the most current information available on clinical and research topics related to surgery or surgical specialties, including outcomes, surgical practice, and ethical and other issues that affect its practice.

In addition, the IASA will also serve to advance surgical care in India through research, training and development, and collaborative undertakings. The Annual meeting of the IASA is designed to bring together surgeons who share the mission of the organization and to promote its ideals.

Membership is open to anyone who has interest in advancing surgical care in India and the United States.
