We are thrilled to announce ongoing improvements to the SurgeryU website, with a particular focus on enhancing the “FMIGS” and “Resident” channels. These enhancements involve aligning them with the FMIGS PDF video curriculum and creating playlists tailored to residency education.
In March, get ready for the March Madness Mind of a Surgeon video contest! This exclusive contest is open to all FMIGS Fellowships. Head-to-head elimination tournaments will take place on the SurgeryU Instagram platform through audience polls. The deadline for video submissions is March 1, 2024, and shortly after, brackets will be created based on the number of submissions. Follow our Instagram handle @surgeryu_aagl and be sure to cast your vote during our tournament!
Our schedule for 2024 includes a lineup of industry and Special Interest Group webinars. Additionally, keep an eye out in June 2024 for our exclusive webinar, “Surgical Video Editing with SurgeryU Board Editors,” where we’ll share insights into what we’re looking for and how to create award-winning surgical video presentations!
