A. No; we are two completely separate and distinct organizations. The ABS is based in Philadelphia; we were founded to provide a certification process for surgeons to protect the public and improve the specialty. The ACS is a membership organization based in Chicago that acts on behalf of its members, who pay dues to belong.
