2012 PROGRAM FEATURES
SELF-ASSESSMENT CME CREDITS –The Southeastern Surgical Congress is acutely aware of the need
for General Surgeons to comply with the rules of Maintenance of Certification (MOC). Current requirements
of the American Board of Surgery for MOC and CME are that surgeons must get 50 hours of CME per year of
which 30 hours must be Category 1 Activity and one-third of those hours must be self-assessment activity.
SATURDAY RESIDENTS' FORUM –On Saturday, a number
of residents will present research papers applicable to surgery, and residents will discuss the papers.
The purpose of the Forum is to provide an opportunity for residents to present and discuss their
research with others in an atmosphere that encourages academic exchange without social pressure.
Assigned discussers will also be residents. The Forum will be moderated by a member from the
Continuing Medical Education Committee. All residents are encouraged to attend and participate
in the discussion of papers from the floor, and senior surgeons are invited to assist with discussion.
All residents who will participate or plan to attend the Forum are required to attend a luncheon.
RESIDENT'S LUNCHEON –This luncheon on Saturday
is scheduled to
provide an opportunity for residents to receive instruction for presenting and discussing papers. A member of the Continuing Education Committee will talk with the residents about how professional organizations
such as the Southeastern Surgical Congress can assist them in their professional lives.
GRAND ROUNDS OF POSTERS –These rounds provide an opportunity for poster authors to make an oral presentation to the Grand Rounds Professors and their peers, which enhance the poster exhibits. Scheduled Sunday and Monday, 6:30 - 7:50 AM. Stroll with the rounding teams while you eat breakfast.
 GOLD MEDAL PAPERS –These winning papers, selected from a large number of entries, are identified in
the program by the seal of the Congress. The Gold Medal Forum is a tangible reward for research by young
surgeons. In addition to peer recognition, the presenters receive cash awards on Tuesday at the morning break.
-->
MONDAY BUSINESS MEETING, ELECTION OF OFFICERS, AND
LUNCHEON –This is a time for the Fellows of the Congress to hear reports from their
representatives to the Advisory Council, the American Board of Surgery, and the Board of Governors of the
American College of Surgeons. It is a time to provide input for these representatives and to conduct the
annual business of the Congress.

2011 PRESIDENT'S LETTER
 On behalf of the Southeastern Surgical Congress and our local host Dr.
Philip Burns, I encourage you to join us at our 2011 Annual Scientific
Meeting in Chattanooga, Tennessee. This meeting will include an
exciting program of clinical papers, poster presentations, specific
lectureships and a half day session of a Joint Meeting with the American
College of Surgeons. The meeting will begin on Saturday, February 12
and end on Tuesday, February 15.
On Saturday, February 12 we will have a post-graduate course, Maximal
Immersion in Minimally Invasive Surgery, which will have a morning
didactic session and a hands-on follow-up and the Residents Forum.
This forum provides an opportunity for residents to present and discuss
their research. The Welcome Reception will follow on Saturday evening.
The regular meeting will begin on Sunday
with the introduction of two new
committees which have been formed to
address issues for students, residents and
fellows, chaired by David Feliciano, MD
with Co-Chair - Joseph Cofer, MD and a
committee on Clinical Practice chaired by
Spence Taylor, MD with Co-Chair - Don
Nakayama, MD. The first part of the
meeting will occur on Saturday morning
followed by the Presidential Address. The
two new committees will have brief
programs at Noon for attendees. Sunday
afternoon will be the American College of
Surgeons program which will include a
forward look of the goals of The American
College of Surgeons as well a supplemental
program regarding Topical Issues around Healthcare Reform.
Monday's program will then include both plenary and parallel session as
well as the poster sessions. The Annual Business Meeting will occur
from Noon until 2:00 PM on Monday. Tuesday morning will also include
poster sessions as well as plenary and parallel sessions. The meeting
will end on Tuesday at Noon.
Notably, the A. Hamblin Lecturer will be Dr. Fabrizio Michelassi and the
Roger Sherman Lecturer will be Dr. Wayne Meredith. An additional
special lecture will be given by Dr. Lazar Greenfield .
This meeting of The Southeastern Surgical Congress will be like its
predecessors, focused on providing experience education and interpersonal
interaction for the practicing surgeon. It is anticipated that this
meeting will give every surgeon who attends, useful ideas to take home
and apply quickly to their own personal practice.
The meeting will continue to provide Category One Continuing Medical
Education credit that will include a self-assessment CME to facilitate the
meeting requirements for licensure and recertification.
The leadership in The Southeastern Surgical Congress strongly
encourages you to attend this meeting and participate in the discussions.
It is our belief that the meeting will be better with all attendees
giving as many ideas and opinions for consideration. We also believe
this will maximize the value for every individual who attends. I look
forward to seeing you in Chattanooga.
Sincerely,
Anthony A. Meyer, MD
President, Southeastern Surgical Congress

MISSION STATEMENT FOR THE 2011 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) presen- tations with assigned
discussants 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
discussants 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 Congress is committed to assisting surgeons keep abreast of the
new and emerging technologies, based on 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.
