\n

Sean Langenfeld, MD, Jon S. Thompson Endowed Professor of Surgery and chief of the UNMC Division of Colon and Rectal Surgery, has been named editor-in-chief of the ACS Communities, the members-only, online community of the American College of Surgeons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He will succeed Tyler Hughes, MD, who served as the inaugural editor-in-chief of the ACS Communities platform since its launch in August 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I\u2019m very excited about the opportunity to build on the amazing foundation created by Dr. Hughes and the ACS team,\u201d Dr. Langenfeld said. \u201cThe ACS Communities platform is an invaluable tool that supports practicing surgeons and allows us to provide the best possible care for our patients, and so I greatly value the trust that has been placed with me to captain the ship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Langenfeld will begin his new role on Feb. 1 after shadowing Dr. Hughes in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI can think of no one more qualified than Dr. Sean Langenfeld to replace Dr. Tyler Hughes as the next editor-in-Chief of American College of Surgeons Communities,\u201d said David W. Mercer, MD, chair of the UNMC Department of Surgery. \u201cDr. Langenfeld has a longstanding history with the ACS and is nationally recognized for his work in colorectal surgery, as well as in communications via social media. He is well respected by his surgical and medical colleagues, and I look forward to significant contributions from him in this new role.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his new position, Dr. Langenfeld will be responsible for overseeing and reviewing new postings and making sure they adhere to the Communities Code of Conduct. He also will help to start conversations and promote ACS content, such as articles in the Bulletin, the ACS Brief, and other publications, in their relevant communities.<\/p>\n Np o<\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
