Letters to the Editor

[摘要] From the first days of the Surgical History Group (SHG), Basil A. Pruitt, Jr., MD, FACS, planned one of its most successful activities, the educational sessions at the Clinical Congress of the American College of Surgeons (ACS). As chair of the SHG Program Committee, he helped to select the themes for the Panel Sessions and ensured that the program satisfied the requirements for courses presented at the Clinical Congress. The approval process is sometimes arcane, involving reviewing applications, meeting deadlines, and securing approvals, but Dr. Pruitt handled it all with ease, making sure the Panel Sessions met the standards for excellence in content, while addressing topics of interest to surgeons.
