ACS is a scientific and educational association of surgeons that was founded in 1913 to improve the quality of care for the surgical patient by setting high standards for surgical education and practice. In 2008, the ACS accredited Carolinas Simulation Center as an Accredited Education Institute. This accreditation focuses on the simulation-based education and training of surgeons, surgical residents, medical students and members of the surgical team. Carolinas Simulation Center has twice received reaccreditation, most recently in 2014.
