Hands-on Course Schedule:
These courses have not been planned by SAGES and therefore are not accredited by SAGES.
To provide more opportunities for hands on learning, the World Congress Program Committee invited several institutions in New York to host and operate hands on courses immediately prior to the Congress. These courses meet the guidelines as established in the "Framework for Post-Residency Surgical Education and Training" and are endorsed by SAGES. These courses have not been planned by SAGES and therefore are not accredited by SAGES. The CME Accreditation for each course is indicated with each course description.
For your convenience, pre-registration for these courses will be handled through the SAGES office. Please refer to the registration form for pricing information and to register for the course(s) of your choice. You may also attend the lecture portion only of the course(s), if offered.
