Submit Abstracts for 2026 ACS Surgical Simulation Summit

July 8, 2025

26surgsimsummitabstractsocial-x.png

Abstracts are now being accepted for presentation at the ACS Surgical Simulation Summit, March 12–13, 2026, in Chicago, Illinois. Original research representing all surgical specialties, and all disciplines that utilize simulation, is encouraged.

Authors should submit a 300-word abstract that presents a concise summary of research—either completed or in-progress—that has not been presented elsewhere or previously accepted for publication. Abstracts may be submitted on any topic related to simulation-based surgical education and training, but we are specifically calling for abstracts on 12 topics such as Curriculum Development, Patient Safety, and Quality Improvement.

Submit Your Abstract

The ACS-AEI Program Committee will determine the appropriate presentation format—podium or poster—for each accepted abstract. All abstracts chosen for presentation are expected to be presented in-person, onsite in Chicago.

Authors may submit as many abstracts as they wish. Contact edinstitutes@facs.org for more information.
