The Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS) is responsible for the training, examination, and recertification of its fellows, who make up the great majority of the practicing specialist surgeons in Australia and New Zealand. One of the 16 Objects of the College is "To bring together the surgeons of Australia and New Zealand periodically for scientific discussion and practical demonstration of surgical subjects." In the furtherance of this object, there are many local and national meetings each year, but the highlight is the Annual Scientific Congress (ASC), held in each of the major cities on rotation, traditionally in the month of May, which is late autumn in the southern hemisphere.
澳大利亚皇家外科学院（RACS）负责其会员的培训、考核及重新认证，这些会员构成了澳大利亚和新西兰执业专科外科医生的绝大部分。该学院的16项目标之一是“定期召集澳大利亚和新西兰的外科医生，就外科主题进行科学讨论和实践演示”。为推进这一目标，每年会举办许多地方和全国性会议，但重头戏是年度科学大会（ASC），该会议轮流在每个主要城市举行，传统上在5月，即南半球的深秋时节。
