Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the scientific committee, it is our pleasure to invite you to our upcoming “UAE Anesthesiology Core Topics Symposium by SSMC” on May 11, 2024. Organized by the Anesthesiology Department at Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City (SSMC), the symposium will be held at SSMC in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

This scientific meeting is designed to provide delegates with updates and an overview of the latest evidence-based practice in key core aspects of clinical anesthesiology, and will include multidisciplinary input from surgical and interventional specialties, which is crucial for the delivery of high-quality patient-centered care.

This one-day event will include interactive presentations from local and regional experts in the field, case-based discussions, simulation scenarios and live workshops that will be facilitated by the SSMC Centre of Innovation and Medical Simulation (CIMS). The symposium will also be a perfect opportunity to build collaborations across our local, regional and global health care networks. To ensure a seamless scientific experience, we developed a comprehensive program in consultation with our renowned faculty and international speakers from our field.

Your participation in this symposium will be a unique learning opportunity, and a valuable experience for you and your patients.

We are looking forward to your participation.
