He became a [[Fellow]] of the American College of Surgeons in 1987, at which point he became involved in leading various [[American College of Surgeons|ACS]] activities. Hoyt first became involved with the Committee on Trauma in 1980, and served as its Chair between 1998 to 2002.

=== Positions as Executive Director ===
When there was conflict over overlapping vs non-overlapping surgeries scheduled in hospitals,<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (2 for 1)</ref> Hoyt supported research stating concurrent, overlapping surgeries are generally safe practice,<ref></ref><ref></ref> as the ACS updated its position on its long-standing set of principles regarding the physician’s responsibilities in the operating room.<ref></ref>
He has had a focus on sexual harassment in medicine, and is overseeing the development of a multi-year study to identify and understand the cultural elements that can ultimately be controlled to reduce the prevalence of harassment.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> In 2011, when the president-elect of the ACS, Lazar Greenfield, was caught in a controversy surrounding a Valentine’s Day editorial he wrote touting the mood-enhancing effects of semen on women during unprotected sex,<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> Hoyt oversaw the College's response, stating that it, "deeply regrets the offense taken to Dr. Greenfield’s editorial about Valentine’s Day."<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
When the efficacy of surgical caps were called into question by inspectors, who instead supported bouffants, Hoyt's office released its own guidelines, arguing there was no reason to tamper with tradition, and that there is no evidence linking modest amounts of uncovered hair to wound infections.<ref></ref> He has encouraged surgeons to wear clean, appropriate professional attire (not scrubs) during all patient encounters outside of the operating room, stating, "this statement reflects our strong commitment to surgical patient safety."<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref><ref></ref>
On the issue of surgical volume, Hoyt reported the ACS continues to look into the issue.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
In the "eyeball wars" between optometrists and ophthalmologists, ophthalmologists have maintained that optometrists do not have the same medical training or qualifications to perform eye surgery, and so, when Governor [[Rick Scott]] signed HB 239 into law in 2013, allowing optometrists to prescribe a limited number of oral medications, ophthalmologists were angry. Hoyt sent a letter of protest to Rep. [[Cary Pigman]], an emergency care physician who chairs the Health Quality Subcommittee, explaining that the bill worked against the interests of patient safety and maintaining the highest standards of surgical care.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
