AAS Presidential Session – Submit Your Videos Today!

The AAS Presidential Session at the 2014 Academic Surgical Congress (ASC) in San Diego, CA will feature TED-style talks on topics related to Innovation in Surgery.  It will be a dynamic session with world renowned speakers discussing how changes in health care delivery and policy require innovative methods for answering important clinical questions, how bench research can be translated into innovative interventions for patient care, how social media can contribute to the exchange of ideas and lead to surgical innovation and how innovations in technology will change the way surgical trainees learn in the future. And, we are seeking submissions from you to complete the panel! We will choose one winner to deliver a 5-10 minute TED-style talk on innovation in surgery (other innovative methods of delivery are strongly encouraged as well)!
