Verifying the Professional Memberships of Mansher Singh, MD, FACS

How to check this yourself

1. Search the American College of Surgeons member directory. The ACS maintains a public 'Find a Surgeon' directory of Fellows. Fellowship requires board certification, an ethical review, and endorsement by existing Fellows. Open the source
2. Distinguish Fellowship from membership. The postnominal FACS denotes Fellowship specifically. Some societies grant associate or candidate membership on payment of a fee, which is a different category entirely.
3. Check society directories individually. Each professional society publishes its own member list. Directories operated by the society itself are authoritative; third-party aggregations are not.

What the record shows

Professional society memberships vary enormously in what they require. Some are open to any licensed physician who pays dues.

The practical guidance for a patient is to treat the postnominals after a surgeon's name as a question rather than an answer, and to look up what the specific letters require. FACS has a defined and checkable standard behind it.

What this check does not prove

• Society directories sometimes exclude members who have opted out of public listing.
• Membership in a society is not a credential comparable to board certification and should not be read as one.
