Mayo Clinic Interactive Surgery Symposium 2026
The Ritz-Carlton Maui, Kapalua
Kapalua, HI

The Mayo Clinic Interactive Surgery Symposium 2026 is designed to educate general surgeons on procedures seen in everyday practice. Difficult cases encountered in a smaller community practice rely on the best practices offered during the sessions. The symposium offers decision-making options that cover multiple aspects of surgical practice. Active audience participation with faculty is strongly encouraged during case presentations and faculty panel discussions. Surgical techniques are demonstrated through video presentations and audience response are used to enhance the interactive format. This symposium also features self-assessment credit toward Part 2 of the ABS MOC Program.
