2022 ACS Surgical Simulation Summit Meeting
Welcome to the virtual 2022 Annual ACS Surgical Simulation Summit (The 15th Annual Meeting of the Consortium of ACS-accredited Education Institutes). While we regretted not being able to meet in-person in Chicago this year, we valued the opportunity to virtually bring together members of the surgical simulation community to discuss the latest advances in simulation-based surgical education and training, share best practices, and define new strategic directions. Download the Summit program.
On-demand recorded content, credit claiming, and certificates for the Summit are available here.
Under the superb leadership of Deborah Rooney, PhD and Alexander Perez, MD, FACS, the Program Committee selected 12 cutting-edge scientific papers and 21 posters. We invite you to view the recordings of the Papers Sessions here. Additionally, the posters are available to view in the virtual poster hall. Please note, posters are not eligible for CME credit.
Back by popular demand is the “Innovations in Simulation-Based Education” session, which includes five abstracts submitted as works-in-progress presented in a “Shark-Tank” format to encourage interaction and collaboration. As in years past, Fellows from AEI-accredited Simulation Education Fellowships presented their ongoing research in “AEI Fellows: Future Leaders in Simulation-Based Education.”
We were excited to bring back the special track designed for simulation center personnel who are an integral part of our community and have unique educational needs. The Management, Operations, Research and Education (MORE) Track explored two topics – different types of surgical curricula and data management solutions – in an interactive format. All participants will benefit from this track and are encouraged to view these sessions.
Building on the success of last year, we were pleased to partner again with the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) to bring you a collaborative ACS/ASA session. Kevin Weiss, MD, MPH, Senior Vice President of Institutional Accreditation at the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), delivered the Keynote Address on, “Enhancing Clinical Learning Environments and Interprofessional Practice to Improve Operative and Procedural Patient Care.” This was followed by recommendations on how to strengthen the collaboration between surgeons and anesthesiologists in operating room settings, to provide safe and high-quality care to patients. Recommendations specifically focused on the use of simulation in training surgeons, anesthesiologists, and surgical teams, and defined opportunities for ACS and ASA to work together to enhance patient safety.
On behalf of the ACS-AEI Program Committee and the Division of Education staff, we would like to thank you for viewing the virtual Summit presentations and look forward to seeing you in-person at next year’s Summit in Chicago on Thursday, March 2–Saturday, March 4, 2023.

Disclosure Information
In accordance with the ACCME Accreditation Criteria, the American College of Surgeons must ensure that anyone in a position to control the content of the educational activity (planners and speakers/authors/discussants/moderators) has disclosed all financial relationships with any commercial interest (termed by the ACCME as “ineligible companies”, defined below) held in the last 24 months (see below for definitions). Please note that first authors were required to collect and submit disclosure information on behalf all other authors/contributors, if applicable.
Ineligible company
The ACCME defines an “ineligible company” as any entity producing, marketing, re-selling, or distributing health care goods or services used on or consumed by patients. Providers of clinical services directly to patients are NOT included in this definition.
Financial Relationships
Relationships in which the individual benefits by receiving a salary, royalty, intellectual property rights, consulting fee, honoraria, ownership interest (e.g., stocks, stock options or other ownership interest, excluding diversified mutual funds), or other financial benefit. Financial benefits are usually associated with roles such as employment, management position, independent contractor (including contracted research), consulting, speaking and teaching, membership on advisory committees or review panels, board membership, and other activities from which remuneration is received, or expected. ACCME considers relationships of the person involved in the CME activity to include financial relationships of a spouse or partner.
Conflict of Interest
Circumstances create a conflict of interest when an individual has an opportunity to affect CME content about products or services of an ineligible company with which he/she has a financial relationship.
The ACCME also requires that ACS manage any reported conflict and eliminate the potential for bias during the educational activity. Any conflicts noted below have been managed to our satisfaction. The disclosure information is intended to identify any commercial relationships and allow learners to form their own judgments. However, if you perceive a bias during the educational activity, please report it on the evaluation.
