ACS Surgical Simulation Summit

Management, Operations, Research & Education (MORE) Track Sessions

The AEI Administration and Management Committee has prepared two MORE Track sessions for the 2023 Annual Surgical Simulation Summit, which will utilize MORE presenters’ shared experiences and lessons learned at their AEIs for the benefit of all participants. Plan to attend Thursday’s session, which explores interprofessional topics in relation to team building from an inclusive perspective. Friday morning’s workshop session will offer all levels of learners access to DIY model building on four common surgical procedures to utilize back at their centers. DIY Model Recipe instructions will be provided.
