Welcome to The Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES)
Have you been on SAGES PAGES, SAGES TV, S-WIKI or iMAGES? Did you Twitter at the last SAGES meeting? Did you know there is a SAGES Channel on YouTube? If not, it’s time you joined the SAGES social network! Care to guess how much activity on these sites this year? Keep reading!
SAGES has had a website since 1995 and we are proud to have been early adopters of the opportunities the Internet has brought to our mission, vision, and operations. Though much smaller than the large umbrella organizations representing the vast arrays of physicians across many specialties, SAGES has always invested hard-earned resources that have kept a keen eye on technology use, and evolution.
If you want to find out how to participate or have comments, questions, concerns, or ideas how SAGES might continue to improve patient care or surgical education , please write me at president@SAGES.org.
