2019 Spring Meeting » Department of Surgery » College of Medicine

In 2019, Woodward Society members gathered in Gainesville to learn the most up-to-date and relevant advancements in surgical practice and treatment, as well as the management of surgical residents.

The topics were designed to meet licensing and regulatory requirements, address current trends gleaned collectively from the planning committee members, faculty and alumni. This approach allowed attendees to share evidence, ideas, knowledge and practical experience. The goal for attendees was to enhance their experience with evidence-based medicine; critically evaluate and assimilate information on techniques that impact the surgical field and use this evidence to improve practice and patient care.
