Four Manuscripts from the 2020 Surgical Simulation Summit Research Presentations’ Scientific Papers Session Published in Surgery

The ACS-AEI program is pleased to report that four manuscripts from the 2020 virtual ACS Surgical Simulation Summit Research Presentations’ Scientific Papers session, held on October 28, 2020, were published in the journal Surgery in 2021. Originally intended for the in-person March 2020 Annual Surgical Simulation Summit, which was canceled, our scientific paper presenters returned in fall 2020 to present their work virtually and live to the consortium.

We would like to thank the AEI Program and Review Committee for providing us with rigorously reviewed scientific content for a very well received session:
