Happy 6th Birthday, PSC! 🎂 Six years of learning, sharing, and growing together. 11 September 2026 Hello, pediatric surgeons and friends, Today is a special day for all of us: Pediatric Surgery Club turns six! On 11 September 2020, PSC began as a one-person project with a simple idea: to create a place where pediatric surgeons could connect, share knowledge, and learn from one another. Six years later, it is a pleasure to celebrate that idea—and everyone who has helped keep it alive. Reaching this anniversary means a great deal to me personally. Keeping PSC running takes time, effort, and persistence, but knowing that colleagues find something useful here makes that work worthwhile. To everyone who has joined a discussion, shared a resource, answered a question, reported a broken link, invited a colleague, subscribed to a pro membership, or simply kept coming back: thank you. You are part of PSC’s story. Over the past year, we have continued building on the resources introduced around our fifth birthday. Our weekly quizzes have continued through 2026, and the quiz collection now includes 97 quizzes. Each new quiz offers another opportunity to revisit a topic, challenge ourselves, and make learning a regular habit. If you have not visited recently, this birthday is a good excuse to take another look! PSC brings together three connected sites: PSC Classic Forums — the familiar community experience, with discussions and resources collected over the years. PSC Main Community — our home for specialty discussions, educational resources, galleries, downloads, and events. PSC .US — our developing learning platform, with quizzes and additional educational sections. Pro membership includes an invitation to join. Across PSC, there are different ways to learn, whether you are preparing for examinations, reviewing an operation, planning a teaching session, or exploring an unfamiliar topic: MCQs and question discussions to test your understanding and identify areas worth revisiting. Operative videos covering pediatric surgical procedures and techniques. Quizzes for regular practice and self-assessment. Operative illustrations and educational galleries, including the APSA charts collection. Downloads, including lectures, publications, and mind maps, alongside our premium mind maps. Dedicated learning sections covering pediatric surgical history, anatomy and embryology, algorithms, video lectures, and animations. Minimal access surgery resources, from basic principles to further discussions and techniques. Pediatric surgery events to help you discover webinars, meetings, and other learning opportunities. For members looking for additional resources, PSC Pro membership offers access to operative videos and illustrations, the MCQ bank, quizzes, premium mind maps, and an invitation to the .US platform. A special thank-you to our Pro members for supporting PSC’s continued development. As we enter our seventh year, I want PSC to remain a place where a trainee feels comfortable asking a question, an experienced surgeon can share a useful lesson, and colleagues can learn from each other’s perspectives. You can help shape that next chapter. Tell us which resources you find most useful, suggest topics you would like to see, contribute to a discussion, and introduce PSC to a colleague who might enjoy being here. I am open to all feedback: what would you most like to see in our seventh year? Whether you have been with us since 2020 or joined today, this celebration belongs to you. Happy 6th birthday, PSC! Happy anniversary to all of us—and here’s to many more years of learning and sharing together. 🎉 Visit the PSC main portal and join the celebration.
