Annual Surgical Fellows Symposium

View Webcasts from the ASTS 3rd Annual Surgical Fellows Symposium, recorded at last year's symposium in Scottsdale, AZ, November 12-14, 2009.

ASTS will again unite today's leaders in the field of transplantation with the next generation of transplant surgeons. Stay tuned throughout the year for updates including date and location announcements for the 4th Annual Surgical Fellows Symposium!

What makes this symposium different is that it provides fellows an unparalleled opportunity to have one-on-one interaction with faculty experts and peers through 15 hours of educational content combined with social events. Fellows will have access to knowledge in areas which have been identified by previous fellows as relatively underrepresented in their clinical training. Using a competitive edge, fellows will square off in teams to dissect case scenarios that depict the field’s most relevant and complex topics. In addition, fellows will participate in a series of lectures and interactive sessions with ample time provided to ask questions and fill the gaps that are often not covered as part of clinical training.

In 2009, the ASTS, with support from Astellas, Roche and Bristol Myers Squibb, was pleased to be able to provide this opportunity to all 2nd year fellows in good standing in ASTS accredited Abdominal Fellowship Training Programs throughout the United States and Canada.
