ACS Surgical Simulation Summit

Dear Colleagues,

The 16th Annual ACS Surgical Simulation Summit is ramping up for next spring; we are excited to meet again in-person in Chicago, IL, March 14-15, 2024. A dynamic program awaits you with access to innovative technologies, discussion of ground-breaking simulation research, and unparalleled networking opportunities with leaders in the field.

We have a tremendous conference planned for you and want your experiences to be a part of this premier event for simulation education and research impacting the entire surgical arena. Share your work and collaborate with our national and global community at the meeting. Select manuscripts will be considered for publication in the journal Surgery.

Please submit your abstracts before September 12, 2023, and note our new Medical Student category. We look forward to seeing you in Chicago!

Regards,

Susan Carter, MD, FACS
2024 Surgical Simulation Summit Chair

The call for abstracts is now open! Abstracts are due Tuesday, September 12, 2023 at 11:59 pm CT.

Are You Up for the Challenge?

The American College of Surgeons (ACS) Accredited Education Institutes (AEI) Program and the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Simulation Education Network (SEN) are teaming up to offer the Joint ACS/ASA Simulation Quality and Safety Challenge!

Does your center have a simulation activity aimed at improving your healthcare institution’s quality or safety? If not, can you develop one?

Winners of the challenge will be invited to present in an oral or poster format at the 2024 Simulation Summit during the joint ACS/ASA session taking place on Friday, March 15. Additionally, one submitting organization will be selected by the planning committee to win an award of up to $1,000 for conference registration, accommodations, travel, and related expenses.

Submissions are due by October 1, 2023.
