A Portland Institution Since 1948
The Portland Surgical Society is the only professional organization of its type in the Portland area. The society is an important educational forum for surgeons as well as a showcase for the achievements of many of our trainees. Perhaps most importantly, it provides a wonderful opportunity to renew the camaraderie and unique sense of fellowship that unites us within our community of surgeons.
The organization will only remain successful and vibrant with your support. The most important support you can provide is by participating in meetings and recruiting new members. If you have a new associate in your practice, please encourage them to complete a membership application.
Quarterly Meetings
Portland Surgical Society has quarterly social hour and speaker. Meetings start with a cocktail hour at 6:00 pm followed by a speaker. The meetings conclude about 8:00 pm.. Cost included in PSS dues, guests $50.
