Program Description: 

This educational activity is designed to incorporate evidence-based pathophysiology, diagnosis, and/or treatment of surgical disorders into clinical practice. Speakers will utilize their personal, institutional, and evidence-based experience to address patient health care conditions requiring clinical and surgical treatment. Speakers will also utilize departmental quality improvement data, M&M data, and patient safety data to improve outcomes of surgical disease and other aspects of surgical patients’ general health. Evidence-based data regarding the changing aspects/newer approaches to surgical disease will be analyzed, and critical issues related to surgery within the broader scope of American health care will be discussed.

  • Attendees of this session should be able to define haptics and should feel inclined to make a record of the subconscious haptic maneuvers that they make in any given clinical examination/procedure.
  • Attendees should be able to think critically about the applications of technology in healthcare. As clinicians, we are oftentimes the end-users of such technology. To ease the implementation of technology into the healthcare setting, we must understand the nuances of how any given technology can facilitate/disrupt our clinical workflows.
