Welcome
Welcome
On behalf of the Society for Surgical Simulation (SSS), Barts Cancer Institute (BCI) of Queen Mary University of London and program committee, I would like to welcome you to the second virtual annual conference SES2022 – Surgical Education and Simulation: Innovations in Simulation-Based Education.
Given the success of the inaugural event in 2020, we have expanded the 2022 meeting to two full day scientific program and Digital Surgery Master Class, using TOUCH SURGERY™. This will permit us to fully explore synergies between trainees, scientists, industries, surgeons and educators to advance simulation-based surgical education. SES2022 program agenda includes the following,
-
Digital Surgical Masterclass - Audience Interactive session for building cognitive confidence before entering the operating room.
-
Keynote Presentations
-
Expert Panel Discussions
-
Scientific Papers - Oral and Poster Presentations.
-
Surgical Sim Olympics - Live Laparoscopic Suturing Competition
I would like to thank you for your contribution and attending this unique event. We look forward to continuing the productive dialogue, enhancing knowledge, building relationships, and spark innovations aimed at fostering meaningful collaboration.
