OFFERINGS of
THE SOUTHEASTERN
SURGICAL CONGRESS
Comprehensive
Clinical Review in General Surgery
This course is co-sponsored with The Southwestern
Surgical Congress and designed to cover virtually every aspect of general
surgery with a special focus on clinical surgery. The distinguished national
faculty of surgical authorities will translate current surgical literature
into clinically applicable material that you will be able to apply
immediately to your own practice or incorporate into your individual
studies. It is intended to assist the general surgeon in reviewing the areas
of general surgery that may no longer be current in that surgeon's practice.
This course will incorporate basic science principles applicable to clinical
practice.
In addition, this course offers
25.75
credit hours in Category 1 of the Physicians Recognition Award of the
American Medical Association and meets the requirements of Part II of
the American Board of Surgery Maintenance of Certification
The 2007 Comprehensive Clinical Review
Course will be in Atlanta. Dates and location are to be determined.

The annual scientific meetings are
held in outstanding hotel facilities in the Southeast where family
activities are an attractive addition to the overall program. The scientific
meeting usually begins on the first Sunday in February with other offerings
preceding the scientific meeting.
A few years ago the Congress began
a Residents' Forum on the Saturday preceding the annual scientific meeting
so that residents would have an opportunity to present their research papers
on surgical topics and discuss them with their peers in a non-competitive
setting. This Forum is designed to give residents experience in presenting
and handling discussion from an assigned discusser and questions from the
audience.
A Postgraduate course is offered on Saturday prior to the scientific meeting. Each course
covers one assigned topic in depth with experts making presentations on many
facets of the subject. Topics are selected based on information from
previous participants and a "need to know" basis, including
cutting edge technology and techniques.
The foremost surgical educators and
private-practice surgeons participate in the annual scientific meeting of
the Congress, Sunday through Tuesday. The program is constructed of talks
from prominent invited speakers, papers selected from abstracts submitted,
panels on current socioeconomic topics, and clinical panel discussions with
prominent academic surgeons and practicing surgeons to give the audience a
full perspective on the latest surgical treatment of a variety of topics for
general surgeons. In recent years videotapes of surgical procedures,
particularly laparoscopic topics, have become an important part of the
program. We welcome comments about topics that surgeons would like to see
addressed at both the postgraduate courses and the program.
Commercial exhibits are included as a part of the educational
offering with companies providing the latest in
surgical technology.
