Native American Surgical Society
The Native American Surgical Society (NASS) came to life in 2024 after a truly community-driven process. Across multiple working groups, lively panels, and late-night video calls, we identified pressing needs of our communities, set shared goals, and devised interventions that remain central to our work today.
NASS is the first 501(c)3 non-profit professional organization in the United States established to build and support a community of Indigenous students, residents, fellows, surgeons and surgical sub-specialists.
our mission
“To unite Indigenous surgeons in guiding the next generation, caring for our Communities with skilled and respectful hands, and in strengthening surgical care through research that serves our People”
Stay in the loop
