Chicago, Illinois, USAOVERVIEW
International College of Surgeons United States Section 80th Annual Surgical Update Jointly With American Academy of Neurological and Orthopaedic Surgeons 42nd Annual Scientific Meeting is organized by International College of Surgeons (ICS) United States Section and will be held during Apr 26 - 28, 2018 at W Chicago - Lakeshore, Chicago, Illinois, United States of America. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 20 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Course Description :
For this conference, we have brought together a cross section of practicing surgeons, young and fresh to practice and those who carry us back to our surgical heritage. Our speakers include those who have spent their entire career in academic surgery to those who have ventured into the world of private practice. Each is committed to sharing his and her surgical knowledge and wisdom. Having access to four medical schools also made the planning process extremely simple. We welcome faculty from Northwestern University, the University of Chicago, Loyola Medicine and the University of Illinois to our program.
The conference will begin with a discussion of surgery in rural and underserved areas both within and beyond our borders. We will examine the impact of our current training paradigms and whether or not they prepare a new graduate for clinical practice. In addition to continuing our mission as a College to provide professional help to those in need, we will reflect on the ethics of our trainees in these unique situations. Our first day will conclude with a special treat for paid registrants as we participate in an architectural cruise down the Chicago River. Our Welcome Reception will feature heavy hours-devours and an open bar on a luxury vessel. Don’t wait, register today as space on the ship is limited.
Course Objectives :
The Annual Surgical Update is designed to offer information regarding the latest surgical advancements and technology to address gaps in knowledge that may exist for practicing surgeons in all surgical specialties, residents in training, and allied health professionals. The desired outcome of this program is increased knowledge, better competency in cutting edge treatment modalities, and enhanced treatment decision making. It is the expressed goal of the course to provide enough material that upon completion of the activity the participant can make educated decisions to incorporate the latest surgical techniques and technologies as well as discern when these procedures are warranted to provide optimum patient care.
Topics presented during the Annual Surgical Update have been designed to address and improve the attendee’s knowledge and skills in the following competencies; patient care or patient-centered care, medical knowledge, practice-based learning & improvement, quality improvement and professionalism.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
