About the ASM

At the heart of General Surgeons Australia are our members – over 1,600 across Australia – who share a passion for the best surgical outcomes for their patients and communities, surgical education and training, and the General Surgery fellowship as a whole. 

Now in it’s 13th year, the GSA ASM is the ‘backbone’ of our membership – supporting valuable educational opportunities and memorable experiences, and promoting General Surgery as a modern, prestigious, and rewarding surgical career.

The ASM is the largest yearly General Surgery-focused conference held in Australia – having established itself as a prominent and respected scientific meeting since it’s 2008 inception. With scientific programs focusing on cutting-edge techniques, surgical innovation, technical expertise, clinical research, and real-world experience, the ASM’s key purpose is to provide our members on continually-evolving surgical approaches and ‘Gold Standards’ across specialised areas of General Surgery while promoting camaraderie and friendship, strong connections and mentoring opportunities, providing ‘real world’ and practical take-homes, no matter what stage you are at in your surgical career.

We look forward to welcoming you to Adelaide this year for another fantastic ASM.
