On behalf of the scientific and organizing committees, it is our honor and pleasure to welcome you to the 3rd Annual Complex Care at SSMC in Partnership with Mayo Clinic: A Case-Based Approach. The conference will offer a hybrid format and will be held on Nov. 11, 2023, at SSMC, Abu Dhabi, UAE.
We are excited for this state-of-the-art event designed to provide an in-depth overview of the SSMC Model of Care that focuses on integrated, team-based and patient-centered care for patients of all ages with serious and complex medical needs. This conference highlights examples of our destination medical center in action with dedicated sessions on neonatal and pediatric medicine, internal medicine, maternal and women’s health, and surgical care. Cases will demonstrate how the multidisciplinary approach at SSMC coupled with technological advances and innovation is optimizing the care we provide.
The conference will offer opportunities to explore breakthroughs in clinical practice, share creative and stimulating ideas, make valuable connections, and obtain inspired perspectives from all members of the multidisciplinary course faculty. As an academic medical center in the UAE, cases will also highlight key aspects for broader opportunities in education and research.
The conference will also serve as a springboard for collaboration and is integral to the SSMC culture that aspires to integrate, connect, learn and deliver to achieve service excellence and deliver trusted quality. The scientific committee has developed an exciting one-day program that will feature SSMC faculty and faculty from our parent organization, Mayo Clinic. A variety of presentation formats will be used including in-depth case discussions and “rapid-fire” formats. In addition, the conference will include two keynote presentations that highlight the state-of-the-art care that is being provided every day at SSMC.
This unique event will provide outstanding opportunities for networking as well as innovative learning experiences. Attendees will get to learn about best practices in the field from experts at SSMC and Mayo Clinic. We hope this unique learning opportunity will help you gain perspectives that will expand your knowledge and motivate you to improve and enhance the care you deliver to your patients on a daily basis.
We wish you a very productive and successful conference.
