Register Today for Clinical Congress 2022

Join us in-person for the premier scientific and educational surgical meeting of the year, October 16–20 in San Diego, CA.

For the first time since 2019, world-renowned experts in the clinical practice of surgery—as well as leaders in surgical education, research, and technology—will come together at Clinical Congress 2022 for a 5-day in-person and virtual event, October 16–20 in San Diego, CA. Learn from the experts, hear about groundbreaking procedures and research, network with peers from around the globe, and gain clinical and non-clinical knowledge that you can put into practice immediately.

“We are looking forward to welcoming you back to the in-person Clinical Congress,” said Ajit K. Sachdeva, MD, FACS, FRCSC, FSACME, MAMSE, Director, ACS Division of Education. “The multidimensional program of this Clinical Congress is very strong and is founded on contemporary educational constructs. The sessions offer unique opportunities to acquire new knowledge and skills that may be applied to surgical practice.”

About Clinical Congress 2022

This year, Clinical Congress will be a hybrid event with in-person and virtual attendance options. Individuals who register for the in-person program will experience the onsite program and have access to the livestreamed as well as on-demand recordings of most sessions. Individuals who register for the virtual program will have access to the livestreamed and on-demand content.

From the more than 120 Panel Sessions to the 12 Named Lectures to the dozens of Postgraduate Courses and beyond, Clinical Congress 2022 will offer the best surgical education for surgeons at all career levels, along with wellness activities and social events such as the popular Taste of the City.

“We will have an incredible opportunity for networking with colleagues whom we haven’t been able to see for almost 3 years,” said Patricia L. Turner, MD, MBA, FACS, ACS Executive Director. “Clinical Congress allows you to literally stand in one place and see friends and colleagues from around the world.”
