What is an FACS?
Some urologists have advanced qualifications in surgery and have joined the professional association of surgeons in the United States, known as the American College of Surgeons. These members are referred to as "Fellows" and are entitled to the letters "FACS" after their names.

Before admitting members to Fellow status, the American College of Surgeons examines all candidates' education and training, professional qualifications, surgical competence, and ethical conduct.
