Every year, its main objective is to provide participants with an opportunity to enhance surgical research by familiarizing themselves with the research activities of others within the Department of Surgery at Queen’s University as well as provide research mentorship for our surgical residents. 
Guest speakers are invited to review the role of research in surgical education and its influence on industry.

Dr Andrew Hamilton, cardiac surgeon in Queen's Department of Surgery at KGH, was a member of the medical team who miraculously brought back to life a Queen's student who froze to death on a Kingston pier. Full news story below

Dr Rudan wishes to congratulate Dr Boris Zevin for his contributions to an exciting new educational program that is being developed by the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Division of Education. This program will specifically focus on intraoperative decision making and on surgical judgment. It will address the higher order cognitive skills to provide the best operative care to patients. The ACS has defined a broad range of content areas for this program and have created Workgroups to develop cases to address specific domains. Dr Zevin has been specially selected to serve as a Member of the Bariatric Decision-making Workgroup. This innovative program will undoubtedly promote excellence and safety in surgery.

Principal and Vice-Chancellor Daniel Woolf announced that Dr Lindsay Davidson, Associate Professor in our Department of Surgery, along with her team, have been chosen as this year's 'faculty' recipients of the Principal's Educational Technology Award.
