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: 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.
Shukran!
