The Microsurgical Training Center, jointly affiliated with the Institute of Surgical Research and the Skills Center of the Medical Faculty, was opened on December 3, 2019. The new facility with 2 rooms and a 30-person capacity is fully-equipped for basic level and advanced microsurgical training courses, and offers educational programs to undergraduate medical and dentistry students and postgraduates. Besides, specially-built microscopic platforms, suitable for highly specialized interventions, such as trauma, nerve, vessel or eye surgeries, are also available for the mastering of technical skills in many fields of clinical microsurgery.

The project was financed by the EFOP-4.2.1-16-2017-00014 project, the aims were to develop the technical and infrastructural background of the microsurgical teaching to world-class standards, and to offer a site for basic and advanced activities under one roof.

Our vision is to provide a center of excellence for microsurgical training for Szeged and Europe, and to connect the best available teaching methods with the clinical practices. We are proud to take part is this challenging and fascinating task.

Next year’s Congress will be extraordinary in the manner that it will not only include the traditional translational experimental and educational areas but will also display the recently increasingly developing field of simulation training for healthcare workers. Institute of Surgical Research organizing the Congress is taking on a big task with arranging such a wide spectrum of the healthcare simulation training including several manual professions such as traumatology, gynecology, surgery, anesthesiology, and cardiology. Translational research topics about surgical innovations, high-tech trauma surgery and traumatology are highlighted areas. As a unique opportunity within the Congress, we provide the opportunity to the participants to learn about the latest traumatic, anesthetic, and neuro-interventional procedures. Both young clinicians and highly experienced professional mentors are expected to attend the workshops and roundtable discussions.
