About the Hitchcock Surgical Society
Founded in 1969 by Claude R. Hitchcock, MD, the Hitchcock Surgical Society exists with the goals of: encouraging the study, elevating the standards, improving the practice, and advancing the science of surgery.
To date, the Society has inducted 226 surgeons dating back to Minneapolis General Hospital’s graduating class of 1955.
Surgeon inductees include graduates of Minneapolis General Hospital and Hennepin Healthcare’s teaching programs as well as, select surgeon-teachers in the larger community who have contributed significantly to the teaching effort by hosting rotations and providing other learning opportunities for residents.
The Society has established a charitable fund within the Hennepin Healthcare Foundation that supports surgery resident research. This fund will help to shape the residents into technically excellent clinicians, researchers, and teachers of the next generation.
