Historians and physicians have struggled to incorporate history into American medical education for over a century. Most efforts focus on local initiatives targeting a narrow audience. We describe a novel method involving the American College of Surgeons, a national organization with tens of thousands of members. Capitalizing on its infrastructure and influence over the field, we have implemented a variety of ventures that include panel sessions at meetings, poster competitions, travel grants, themed breakfasts, online communities, and other such projects. This programming has reached thousands of participants, ranging from pre-medical students to retired physicians, and it has increased both the exposure to and production of surgical history. Our article describes the process of establishing this nationally coordinated enterprise in the hopes that other medical specialties can emulate it and further the study of and appreciation for medical history.
