A highlight of each year’s Clinical Congress is the Named Lectures, which provide attendees with opportunities to hear internationally renowned surgeons and healthcare experts share their perspectives and insights on medicine and surgery. Clinical Congress 2022 offered 12 lectures—including a new Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Lecture—and each lecture is now available to view through the Clinical Congress on-demand platform.
This year’s lecturers discussed a range of topics, including the reflections of an ACS leader by Past-ACS Executive Director David B. Hoyt, MD, FACS, how wearable technology is revolutionizing surgical precision, the 100-year commitment of the Committee on Trauma to advancing trauma care, addressing disparities in cancer care, and much more.
