The Society was organized as the MICHIGAN PROCTOLOGIC SOCIETY on September 30, 1954, and on October 9, 1974, officially changed its name to the MICHIGAN SOCIETY OF COLON AND RECTAL SURGEONS to conform to the change made by the National Society (The American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons).
The purpose for the Society’s organization, as stated in its original Preamble (1954) was as follows:
“It being generally recognized that best interests are promoted by orderly procedure and concerted dissemination of knowledge and effort, also to further advance the Specialty of Proctology and to encourage Proctologic Research; this the Michigan Proctologic Society is organized.”
This was restated with the change in the Society’s name in 1974 as follows:
“The Michigan Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons is organized for the purpose of disseminating to all physicians knowledge relating to diseases of the anus, rectum and colon.”
The presentation of Scientific Papers is held during the annual meeting at the time and place of the Michigan State Medical Society as the Executive Council may direct.
