Peri-operative Pain Control Methods in Abdominal and Anorectal Surgery CME

There are no gold-standard modalities or algorithms that are used in treating peri-operative pain in both abdominal and anorectal surgery. With the advent of ERAS protocols, there has been an attempt to standardize pain control methods in abdominal surgery, however, there are still differing approaches in regard to technique, dosage and timing of administration. In the era of avoidance and/or attempts at decreasing narcotic usage, this webinar will attempt to explore different modalities of pain control in colorectal surgery and give an update on conscientious narcotic usage in the peri-operative period. [February 23, 2023]

Surgeon Burnout: How to Foster Resiliency CME

Burnout has been recognized as a major concern among healthcare providers and surgeons over the past two decades. Stresses associated with providing care during the COVID pandemic have exacerbated factors leading to increased risk and rates of burnout. This webinar will focus on the personal and systemic causes of burnout and how to recognize symptoms of burnout. Ways to mitigate the risk of burnout through resilience, and system wide changes will also be discussed. [September 20, 2022]

The Emergence of Artificial Intelligence in Surgery: Will machine learning lead to the next big disruption in practice and training?

The development of machine learning algorithms to augment, guide and support clinical decision making is accelerating in medicine. Significant progress has been made in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to augment the diagnostic accuracy during endoscopy. In surgery, there is growing interest in harnessing and integrating perioperative data in order to generate algorithms that can help improve surgical workflow, support intraoperative decision-making, reduce errors, and improve surgical outcomes. In this webinar, the basic principles of AI and machine learning applied to endoscopy and surgery will be reviewed. Current research and trends in machine learning in performance-guided surgery, telementoring and telecoaching will be explored. Lastly, the basic requirements for acquisition of high-quality perioperative surgical data will be reviewed, as well as the role surgeons should play in the development and integration of AI and machine learning.
