The UVA Department of Surgery had the honor of hosting the 97th Annual Halsted Society Meeting this year from September 6-9th. The Halsted Society is a prestigious national surgical society which aims to further scientific principles and encourage collaboration amongst its members. The annual meetings are an opportunity for the host institution to showcase its research and history.
Over the course of this four-day event, over 20 UVA Surgery faculty members presented their research and had the opportunity to discuss their work with leaders in surgical innovation from across the country. Keynote speakers included James Ryan, as well as Drs. Melina Kibbe, Craig Kent, R. Scott Jones, and Allan Tsung.
In addition to the presentations, the department hosted numerous breakfasts and dinners for the attendees and their families. The department would like to extend its gratitude to Vicki Testerman, Dr. Anneke Schroen, Summer Lira, and Jenny Rector for organizing this fantastic event, as well as all of our department members for presenting their work.
