In preparation for an upcoming SSAT strategic planning process, the rich history, current demographics, and financial outlook of the Society are reviewed. Building on a strong tradition of innovative leadership, the SSAT remains a vibrant and financially sound organization that continues to attract new members from across the spectrum of GI surgery. However, several trends-subspecialization, an increasing focus on clinical research, the size of DDW, among others-challenge the society to better to define its identity as we plan for and prioritize for the future.
为了筹备即将到来的 SSAT 战略规划流程，我们回顾了该学会的丰富历史、当前人口统计数据和财务前景。SSAT 一直以来都秉持着创新领导力的优良传统，是一个充满活力且财务状况稳健的组织，持续吸引着来自各个 GI 外科领域的新成员。然而，一些趋势——亚专科化、对临床研究的日益重视、DDW 的规模等——要求学会在为未来规划和确定优先事项时，更好地定义自身的定位。
