Opening Session
Addressing Trauma Care in Low/Middle Income Countries (LMIC) Through
Research & Outreach
The global need for surgical
care is significant. However, itinerant surgery leaves little for local
communities who need a sustainable approach to quality surgical care, even in
resource poor settings. The practice of global surgery creates new challenges
for health care providers who have an interest in these humanitarian
activities. Participants in this didactic session will be presented with models
of collaboration that have worked. Delineation of strategies for collaboration
will include solutions that have been developed to ensure outstanding patient
care delivery in these challenging environments.

AANOS Annual Scientific Meeting
Neurological and Orthopaedic Surgery Part 1
The
United States Section of ICS (ICSUS) is proud to continue its long standing
relationship with the American Academy of Neurological and Orthopaedic Surgeons
(the Academy). As such, the Academy has designated the ICSUS Annual Surgical
Update as its Annual Scientific Meeting. Working closely with the members of
the Academy to determine professional practice gaps and educational need, ICSUS
planners representing these two major surgical specialties have developed two
days of programming that will provide approximately 8 hours of specialty
specific category 1 credit. Many of the presenters are from the University of
Washington Medical Centers in Seattle. Participants in these sessions will
receive valuable updates on the following subjects.

General Plenary Session 1
Representing 18 surgically related specialties, ICSUS CME programs are
rich in diversity. The multidisciplinary educational sessions presented in this
activity seek to provide content that improves the learner’s competence,
performance or patient outcomes through interaction with peers. Due to the scope of our global organization,
ICSUS encourages participants from all specialties to interact and learn from
one another, thereby building a broad base of knowledge.

Cardiothoracic Surgery Symposium
The first surgical robot for standard clinical use was introduced
in Canada in 1983. In 2014, surgical robots numbered in excess of 3,000 systems
worldwide with 570,000 operations performed. While robotic surgery has provided
an alternative to well-established open and laparoscopic approaches it is an
expensive technology, the cost-effectiveness of which requires close study.
Participants in this symposium will be provided with information that will
enhance the decision making process for the use of a surgical robotic in
cardiothoracic surgery cases. The advantages of a robot system over traditional
VATS will also be contemplated during the symposium. This session will also
include a Keynote Presentation by Dr. Edward Verrier, Professor in the
Department of Surgery at the University of Washington in Seattle.

Practice Management Workshop
This session will provide attendees with valuable information
about how to improve their surgical practice, avoid costly financial mistakes
and protect hard earned assets. Avoiding unnecessary financial losses should be
high on the agenda of every surgeon. Surgeons face significant liability
risk from multiple exposures. Common liability traps, including new HIPAA risks
associated with technology will be covered. In addition, the most important yet
least understood role in a surgeon’s business will be discussed, “Leadership.”
In addition, this session will include an update
on upcoming changes to health care in America.

Annual Ethics Forum
Healthcare Disparities Close to Home
The
International College of Surgeons and many other US based humanitarian aid
organizations are very active in missions to the "third world" to
correct medical disparities. There are however many areas within the United
States that are as economically and medically deprived. An example illustrating
how members of 567 federally recognized
American Indian and Alaska Native Tribes and their descendants are eligible for
services provided by the Indian Health Service, yet these individuals have long
experienced lower health status when compared with other Americans. Lower life
expectancy and the disproportionate disease burden exist perhaps because of
inadequate education, disproportionate poverty, discrimination in the delivery
of health services, and cultural differences. This session will present
information about this unimaginable situation and allow for discussion between
panelists and the audience in a highly interactive format designed to provoke
thoughtful consideration by all.

Global Surgery Update
An integral component of our CME program is the understanding that
education is not confined by national borders.
Regardless of nationality or specialty, members of the ICSUS who attend
our activities are provided with opportunities to share their professional
expertise and experiences in the operating room, thus providing valuable
feedback to an audience of general surgeons and surgical specialists with an
interest in international surgery and medicine. Utilizing the international
nature of the ICS as a global network of surgeons, members of ICSUS who attend
this session will learn about techniques and approaches used in patient care
all over the world and if appropriate take this information back to their
practices.
