Educational objectives

The PAPS Annual Meeting is designed to provide comprehensive continuing education in the field of pediatric surgery. It is PAPS’s intent to bring the world’s leading authorities together with presentations and discussions of the most recent clinical and research efforts.

Our organization is focused on clinical pediatric surgery and the international, cross cultural sharing of clinically innovative surgical techniques. Surgeons at our meeting concentrate on learning the newest surgical techniques which may have initially been developed and popularized in one country and can now be applied on an international scale.
