Surgeons and Engineers: A Dialogue on Surgical Simulation

The objective of the annual Surgeons and Engineers: A Dialogue on Surgical Simulation Meeting is to provide a novel forum for the exchange of challenges and potentially applicable technologies between surgeons, surgical educators, engineers, and scientists. Surgeons and surgical educators will present needs and challenges encountered in their delivery of surgical education. Academic and industry engineers and scientists will have the opportunity to present existing technologies—or those in development—that have the potential to be applied to and successfully address the presented challenges. Through this exchange, we endeavor to promote future collaboration between the surgical and engineering communities.

Save the Date

The annual Surgeons and Engineers: A Dialogue on Surgical Simulation returns as a 1.5-day meeting on Tuesday, March 18 and Wednesday, March 19 at the ACS Headquarters, Chicago, with optional workshops.

This meeting will serve as a venue for surgeons, surgical educators, engineers, and scientists to continue the dialogue between the simulation-based surgical education and engineering communities. The Annual ACS AEI Surgical Simulation Summit will directly follow on Thursday, March 20 through Friday, March 21, in Chicago, IL. Please note the two meetings have separate registrations and are at different venues.
