The 3d World Congress on Surgical Training - Surgicon

For the third time, a large number of internationally famous surgeons gather on a Swedish initiative during the 3rd Surgicon Congress on 5-7 May 2021, to discuss the most effective and safe way to train new surgeons. Among the lecturers are Dr. Denis Mukwege Nobel Peace Prize Laureate 2018, Dr. Julie Freischlag President-elect of the American College of Surgeons, Dr. Karin Båtelson Vice President of the Medical Association, Professor Richard Satava, Professor Teodor Grantcharov, Professor Steven Wexner, Professor Julio Mayol and Dr. Magnus Kjellman and Pr. Johans von Schreeb from Karolinska Hospital and many more. In addition, well-known experts in education such as Pr Erno Lehtinen, behavioral scientists such as Pr Anthony G. Gallagher ORSI in Belgium and Pr MariAnne Karlssonfrom Chalmers University of Technology, former football professional Pontus Kåmark patient with 3 cruciate ligament surgeries and Susanne Börjesson experienced operating room nurse are among the lecturers.

The basic question is how to transform a Medical School student to a skilled surgeon. Learning manual skills takes time and is not straightforward, and surgeons cannot as carpenters "start over on a new piece of wood". Modern technology, Artificial Intelligence and modern science in instructional design and an increasingly technically complicated surgical environment form the basis for a number of very interesting topics of a cutting-edge level in this area. The congress is a 3-day online event broadcast from the Faculty of Applied Informatics at the University of Gothenburg.

The question is also actual as regards the waiting-lists for surgery being built up as a result of the pandemic situation, as there are theories suggesting that a surgeon can be trained faster than today with the help of new structures and training models.

The Swedish project Surgicon (www.surgicon.org) has for ten years worked with the topic of an efficient and internationally more equivalent education for surgeons. If there were international "driving licenses" in surgery, for example, surgeons could work in any country at any time without complicated administrative routines.

The Surgicon project was founded in 2010 and is a non-profit network of international leaders in surgery and experts in learning and psychology famous for their scientific research of surgical learning processes, based on a non-profit Swedish foundation. The goal of the project is to find scientifically validated training methods for surgeons. As human anatomy is the same regardless of country, culture and socio-economic status, the surgical profession and situation of surgical patients should be the same in all countries according to the principles of the Surgicon project, which also considers the question to be close to the 1948 UN Declaration of Human Rights. The project was invited in 2013 to a collaboration with the WHO.
