Competency ensures patient safety. Expertise is what defines us as physicians.  Acquiring expertise means integrating extensive knowledge and skills with experience to achieve consistently superior performance to ensure better outcomes for our patients and  serve as mentors for the next generation of surgeons. How we obtain, retain and maintain expertise through training and practice is the theme of this year’s Canadian Surgery Forum." Additional details will be updated soon.
