American College of Mohs Surgery

The American College of Mohs Surgery (ACMS) is a membership organization of nearly 1,500 fellowship-trained skin cancer and reconstructive surgeons specializing in the Mohs micrographic surgical technique used to treat skin cancer. 

The ACMS serves as the voice of the specialty, promoting and advancing the highest standards of patient care through fellowship training, research, education and public advocacy. 

The organization was founded in 1967 by Dr. Frederic E. Mohs, who pioneered the technique of removing skin cancer in stages, one tissue layer at a time, resulting in minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissue. 

The ACMS is the only organization that requires members to have completed an extensive one- to two-year fellowship training program after completing their years of residency training.
