The Society of Surgical Simulation is dedicated to promoting patient safety and surgical practice through multi-specialty surgical education and research.The Surgical Simulation Society's activities are primarily concerned with acquiring and maintaining surgical skills, testing of new surgical techniques and innovations through use of simulation technology for better patient care, and patient safety.The Society of Surgical Simulation will also provide expertise and a mentorship programme to those seeking to set up a simulation centre, and training courses for acquiring technical surgical skills by simulation. Journal of Surgical Simulation (JSS) is the world's first academic journal dedicated to publish new research, scholarly articles, and the critique of existing research in the fields of surgical simulation, surgical education, patient safety agendas and surgical technologies.
