Who We Are
The California Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (CACS) was first initiated in 1997 as an independent chapter of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (AACS). Dedicated to the advancement of patient care in cosmetic surgery, the CACS represents a multi-disciplinary assembly of physicians and surgeons.
What Guides Us
The leadership of the CACS is made up of a Board of Trustees guided by an established set of bylaws. The Board meets formally at least twice a year, holds monthly teleconferences, and participates in other Board meetings as needed. An annual educational and directional meeting has been held since 1998 and continues to grow with the organization. All licensed physicians who share an interest in cosmetic surgery are eligible for membership in the CACS.

What We Believe
In order to insure optimal patient care, the CACS provides educational and advocacy resources to all interested physicians. As a liaison between the AACS and the Medical Board of California (MBC), the CACS has been involved in patient safety issues (e.g. liposuction guidelines), legislative issues (e.g. office surgical suite accreditation), and regulatory processes (e.g. Board Certification equivalency issues). The CACS continues to monitor state legislative activities and foster positive relationships within the government. |
