You are
invited to join the Southeastern Surgical Congress in Lake Buena Vista,
Florida, for the 2006 Annual Scientific Meeting.
The Congress is offering two postgraduate courses and an annual
scientific meeting that will be of practical clinical value. The meeting
will start with the postgraduate courses on Saturday. The scientific
meeting from Sunday through Tuesday has some new items to the Program.
“Helping Surgeons Understand Multi-Disciplinary Breast Cancer
Management” will be a half-day course and will present topics related to
medical oncology, radiation oncology, plastic surgery, and pathology. A
full day course, “Surgical Wound Management: Simple to Catastrophic” has
been designed to provide an intensive and comprehensive update on
surgical wound management for health care providers. It is specifically
designed to provide in-depth coverage of the types of wounds seen by
general and vascular surgeons as well as allied health personnel
involved in wound management. The Congress is working in conjunction
with Orlando Regional Healthcare in order to offer contact hours for
nurses for the Surgical Wound Management postgraduate course only.
The Southeastern Surgical Congress also provides
opportunities for surgical residents participation in the Residents'
Forum on Saturday. The purpose of the Forum is to provide an
opportunity for residents to present and discuss their research in an
atmosphere that encourages academic exchange without social pressure.
Assigned discussers will also be residents.
On Sunday afternoon there will be a panel on -
“Surgical Professionalism: Crisis or Renaissance?” Dr. L.D. Britt,
will be moderating with guest speakers; Dr. Anthony A. Meyer, from
Chapel Hill, NC; Dr. John G. Hunter, from Portland, OR, and Dr.
Frederick L. Greene, from Charlotte, NC.
The Congress strives to minimize your time away
from the office while maximizing the educational value and number of CME
credits. There is the opportunity to earn as many as 35 hours of CME
credit to help you meet on-going requirements for licensure and
recertification.
As a surgeon who is involved in both academia and
the care of private patients, I have found the postgraduate courses and
scientific meeting to be very worthwhile through the years. The meeting
is planned with the needs of the clinician in mind so that each surgeon
who attends can take away lessons of value to enrich his/her options for
the care and treatment of patients. We understand that this is
essential for the time you invest. The program also includes
opportunities for surgeons to participate in open discussions of papers
from the floor along with panels that encourage discussion and
interaction with experts. There will also be informal times where
surgeons can visit with the guest speakers who are renowned experts in
their fields.
The Southeastern Surgical Congress is proud of the
level of participation from practicing surgeons, both community and
academic. This active involvement is the reason for our continued
success on a national level and gives us a unique position of influence
among surgical organizations because we are representative of, and often
represented by, community surgeons.
I look forward to seeing each of you in Lake Buena
Vista in February, 2006.
Sincerely,
J. Wayne Meredith, M.D.
President, Southeastern Surgical Congress

THE
SOUTHEASTERN SURGICAL CONGRESS
The Southeastern Surgical Congress, organized in 1930, is the
largest regional society in the United States. It is an association
of member surgeons in Alabama, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida,
Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey, North
Carolina, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia,
and West Virginia. THE AMERICAN SURGEON, published monthly, is the
official scientific journal of the Congress.

Mission Statement for the southeastern surgical congress
The Southeastern Surgical Congress was founded to provide opportunities
for surgeons and surgeons in training to come together for educational,
scientific, and social purposes to promote and advance the study and practice of
surgery. The Congress proposes to carry out this mission by
holding an annual scientific meeting that consists of one or more
postgraduate courses covering new techniques and technology for specific
surgical topics plus a three-day plenary session that includes (1)
prominent surgical authorities as invited speakers; (2) presentations
with assigned discussers selected from a large number of abstracts; (3)
current surgical research projects selected by competition; (4) surgical
operative procedures by noted surgeons on videotape; (5) informal
discussion groups at luncheon meetings; (6) specialty panels providing
opportunities for active participation by the surgeons attending; (7)
and a Poster Session covering a wide variety of general surgical topics,
including discussion by a team of rounding professors.
At the annual meeting all papers and videotapes
shall have assigned discussers to insure that the topics are thoroughly
covered and discrepancies in research are noted. Time will be allocated
for discussion from the floor to increase audience participation.
Papers presented at the meeting will be submitted
for peer review and then published, along with manuscripts independently
submitted, in THE AMERICAN SURGEON, a journal owned and published by the
Southeastern Surgical Congress.
The Southeastern Surgical Congress, in conjunction
with the Southwestern Surgical Congress, annually prepares and presents
the "Comprehensive Clinical Review in General Surgery" in a 3 1/2 day
plenary session with experts from around the country to address each
topic. It is specifically planned for surgeons who wish to review areas
of general surgery that may no longer be current in the surgeon's
practice, and it incorporates principles of basic science applicable to
clinical practice.
Videotapes of actual surgical procedures performed
by experts, which are presented on the program, will be for sale at a
nominal cost to be utilized by individual surgeons, training for
hospital staff members, and residency training programs.
The Congress is committed to assisting surgeons
keep abreast of the new and emerging technologies, based on accepted
recommendations or sound new research, to make surgery safer and more
effective for patient care. The Southeastern Surgical Congress monitors
impact on practice change by systematic assessment of meeting/course
evaluations.
Adopted February 12, 2005.
