Its membership started out small, but as the excitement about surgical simulation group, it now has over 75 members. We hope that this web site will serve as an information hub for information as well as a link to other useful websites. We will try and keep our calendar up to date with any meetings or conferences specifically focused toward surgery. This year is a very exciting year for the Surgery SIG.
