Our Roots

The Society of Surgical Ergonomics is a non-profit organization founded in October 2020 by an eclectic group of surgeons and human factors researchers to address the professional needs of surgeons and proceduralists in their interactions with their procedural environments (ergonomics) to improve their well-being, quality of life, and career longevity.

The Society of Surgical Ergonomics is a proud partner with the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society!
