SLS Young Educators Award
sponsored by the Florida Hospital Nicholson Center

We are proud to announce the annual SLS Young Educators Award. This award will be presented to a physician (general surgeon, gynecologist or urologist); that has completed their Residency/Fellowship training and has been in practice for less than 10 years. The purpose of this award is to facilitate their passion for educating others in the field of minimally invasive surgery. The award will consist of Florida Hospital Nicholson Center providing the educational venue and needed materials to supply and execute a course of the award recipients choosing*. Applications for this award will be facilitated through the Society of Laparoscopic & Robotic Surgeons website. The application will consist of a 250 word or less summary of what the surgeon would like to teach; why he/she feels this is a necessary objective to teach; and a qualitative and/or quantitative way of measuring the skills transmitted to the recipient (student) during this educational event. The current board of trustees for the Society of Laparoscopic & Robotic Surgeons will judge the applicants for the curricula and ability to execute this educational event. The award will be announced at the annual meeting, and the recipient must be present to receive the award.
