Dear colleagues!
Hereby we would like to invite you and your dear colleagues to honor us on the occasion of the XXVII Congress of the Experimental Surgery Section of the Hungarian Surgical Society, June 12-14, 2019.
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.
Institute of Surgical Research at University of Szeged, as an organizer of the Congress, will trying to make the event unforgettable in the manners of both scientific and social programs. First warm days of June with mayfly dance on river Tisza and the Tiszapart-Várkert hosting the programs making Szeged an ideal place for the next year Congress.
We highly recommend to mark 12-14th of June 2019 in your calendar with bold letters, as a must-see program!
