There are new preoperative evaluations and surgical techniques that need to be disseminated in order to provide best patient care.  Teaching physicians need to stay current in all areas of their specialty in order to teach and supervise residents, particularly when on call.  Members of the planning committee determines the M&M Conference topics based on what is the most current and relevant cases in surgery today.

Review of multiple cases that include a variety of complicated cases coupled with the latest literature from peer-reviewed journals will allow continuous performance improvements.  Each presenter, whether they are faculty, fellows or residents must justify their performance and clinical judgment particularly during the M&M aspect of our conference.  A practice gap may be identified during the discussion which is done in an open peer review format.
