Deadline Is Sept. 12 to Submit Abstracts for ACS Surgical Simulation Summit

The next ACS Surgical Simulation Summit is March 14-15, 2024, in Chicago, Illinois; the final opportunity to submit abstracts for the unique conference is 11:59 pm CT on Tuesday, September 12. The AEI Program and Review Committee will notify presenting authors by Friday, December 8, of its decisions.

The ACS-AEI highlights the best simulation education and training research in the field. Anyone who is involved in simulation-based education or surgical simulation-based training is encouraged to submit an abstract for presentation.

The 2024 Surgical Simulation Summit will introduce a new abstract category, Medical Student, to support young investigators early in their careers. They can choose from several categories to allow for flexibility in their investigations. Also new this year will be a category called Simulation Program Management and Operations; selected abstracts may be presented as part of the 2024 MORE Track.

All ACS-AEI abstract submissions must be from original research, not previously published or presented before the Surgical Simulation Summit. Submitters are required to confirm the originality of their research to complete an abstract submission. It is also expected that all work submitted and accepted will be presented at the Surgical Simulation Summit.
