ASCRS members are dedicated to advancing and promoting the science and practice of the treatment of patients with diseases and disorders affecting the colon, rectum, and anus—and ASCRS is committed to helping its members achieve this goal through its diverse list of benefits.

The role of the Clinical Practice Guidelines Committee focuses primarily on the creation of practice parameters for various procedures to assist physicians in caring for patients with colon and rectal disease. Take a look at the clinical practice guidelines which have been published in the ASCRS scientific journal Diseases of the Colon and Rectum.
