Topic 1: Maintenance of Certification
Thomas Tracy & Lenworth Jacobs
Maintenance of Certification continues to be a very popular topic of discussion and will be addressed again this year as a roundtable topic.

Topic 2: New Members of the NESS
Allan Goldstein
Newly elected members of 2010 will have an opportunity to meet other newly elected members of the New England Surgical Society in addition to have open forum for questions regarding how they can take advantage of their membership benefits.

Topic 3: Surgeons as Hospital Employees
Gregory Gadowski & Paul Taheri
As more and more surgeons are leaving private practice and are becoming hospital employees, this session will focus on the driving forces behind that phenomena, and what surgeons can do to assess their own positions. The pros and cons of hospital employment will be explored and various models of employment examined.

Topic 4: International Surgery
Bruce Leavitt & Michael Curci
Surgical Volunteerism has become a well established way for surgeons to give back thru donation of their skills to various third world organizations. This session will focus on changing models in surgical volunteerism, what international volunteers might expect and how to maximize the time and effort volunteered.
