Membership Statistics

The SRS continues to grow at a gradual rate, always focusing on the quality of membership and not necessarily   the quantity. Our membership count as of 5/1/2016 is 1,309 members. We now have 60 countries represented in our membership with approximately 33 percent residing out of the USA.

2015 Morbidity and Mortality Submission:

Thank you to the 884 members that submitted over 44,000 cases to the 2015 online M&M data collection site.

The M&M site for the 2016 reporting year is already open. The same data will be collected in 2016. Please try to stay ahead and enter your M&M data monthly or quarterly to avoid deadline distress.

Our M&M data is available to you for your own research through a Request for Proposal that is located on the Members-Only section of the SRS website under Morbidity and Mortality.

Thank you all for your superior dedication.

Chair: Munish C. Gupta, MD Committee: Douglas C. Burton, MD; Hee Kit Wong, MD; Youssry ElHawary, MD; Michelle Caird, MD
