2009 PRESIDENT'S LETTER
 On behalf of the Southeastern Surgical
Congress, it is my distinct pleasure to invite you to attend the 2009 Annual Scientific Meeting in
Atlanta, Georgia. At the 2008 Annual Meeting in Birmingham, the leadership of the American College
of Surgeons participated in an extraordinarily and informative venue. For the 2009 meeting, we have
again invited the leadership of the College to bring forward to our Fellows pertinent issues that
continue to confront the practicing surgeons in America. Fellows were highly complimentary of the
interaction with the College leadership and expressed great interest in continuing this exchange of
thoughts and ideas to hopefully resolve continuing challenges facing the practice of surgery. This
session will occur on Sunday afternoon, February 8.
On Saturday, February 7 the Congress will again highlight the Residents
Luncheon which will be followed by the Residents Forum. The Residents Forum has been a highlight of
the meeting to allow residents to exchange scientific and socioeconomic concerns with their
presentations to the Surgical Congress. Thereafter, residents will discuss these compelling
scientific and economic issues and interchange thoughts and ideas. It is this group of presenters
that we rely upon to become our future leaders and will guide the Southeastern Surgical Congress in
the 21st century.
The Congress will continue to provide leadership with provision of
Continuing Medical Education (CME) credit that will strengthen and enhance the program educational
value for our Fellows. There will be the opportunity to earn as many as 30.75 hours of CME credit
to assist your ongoing requirements essential in the licensure and recertification process. The
Scientific Meeting will also meet the requirements for Part II of The American Board of Surgery
Maintenance of Certification (MOC). Highlights of the meeting this year will also include on
Sunday, February 8 presentations by Dr. Edward M. Copeland III, Past-President of the Congress and
Immediate Past-President of the American College of Surgeons, who will be the A. Hamblin Letton
Lecturer. On Monday, February 9, there are three lectures scheduled. Dr. William C. Wood, Chairman,
Department of Surgery at Emory University and Past-President of the Congress, will address the
Fellows with his presentation of the annual Roger Sherman Lecture, The Covidien Lecture will be
presented on by Dr. Alexander S. Rosemurgy, Director of General Surgery and the Center for
Digestive Disorders at the University of South Florida, and a special lecture by Dr. Michael G.
Sarr, Chairman, Department of General Surgery and GI Surgery at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester.
On an annual basis, an in-depth review of the attitudes and desires of
membership are carefully weighed for selection of program material for the Scientific Sessions. As
a surgeon involved in both academia as well as management of patients in practice, I consider the
Postgraduate Courses and the Scientific Meeting content to be of high education value. The meeting
is planned principally for the needs of the clinician and each surgeon who attends takes away
lessons of value that enrich the opportunities for enhancement of patient care in their daily
surgical practice. This must remain the highest priority of the Southeastern Surgical Congress and
the Program Committee has seen to it that these caveats are carefully followed for all programmatic
material. The program will also include opportunities for surgeons to participate in open
discussions of scientific papers from the floor, together with panels that encourage discussion and
interaction with experts who will lead these presentations. In addition, the Congress will continue
to provide informal discussion time such that the Fellows can visit with guest speakers, and may
view and discuss the posters available from experts who will present at the 2009 Annual Scientific
Meeting.
The leadership of the Southeastern Surgical Congress remains highly
committed to its level of participation from practicing surgeons from both the academic and private
sectors. Unequivocally, it is this broad and inclusive effort that binds both the ‘town and gown’
surgical community and ensures our success at a national level to provide a unique position of
influence for the Congress among various surgical organizations.
I look forward to seeing each of you in Atlanta in February, 2009.
Sincerely,
Kirby I. Bland, M.D.
President, Southeastern Surgical Congress

MISSION STATEMENT FOR THE 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) presentations with assigned discussers
selected from a large number of abstracts; (3) current surgical research projects selected by
competition; (4) surgical operative procedures by noted surgeons on video; (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 videos shall have assigned discussers
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 accepted 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.
