The virtual 2022 ACS Annual Surgical Simulation Summit, the Annual Meeting of the Consortium of ACS-accredited Education Institutes, will take place March 3–4. This important meeting will bring together members of the surgical simulation community to discuss the latest advances in simulation-based surgical education and training, share best practices, discuss important projects and define new strategic directions.
Original and Collaborative Works Paper Sessions, AEI Fellow Presentations, Innovations in the Simulation-Based Education “Shark Tank” Session, online Posters, and Management, Operations, Research and Education (MORE) programming will be offered.
Additionally, building on the success of last year, a joint session with the American Society of Anesthesiologists will feature a keynote address by Kevin Weiss, MD, MPH, Senior Vice President of Institutional Accreditation at the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). Dr Weiss will discuss new insights from the Clinical Learning Environment Review (CLER) report and how those findings can impact the way surgeons, anesthesiologists and other members of the surgical team work together to provide optimal care to patients. Interactive breakout groups will further define opportunities to promote collaboration.
The registration fee will cover participation in the virtual Simulation Summit and access to the recorded content for a period of two months. CME and Patient Safety Credits also will be available to claim within the two-month period.
