| 0630 | Welcome and introductions · Jit Gohill |
| 0635–0800 | In an interactive Q & A session, our faculty will reflect on their real-world experiences of offering FACS in the publicly funded setting and will invite the audience to ask questions and participate in the discussion via text polling. Topics will be considered from the perspective of the institution, the physician, OR staff and the patient and will range from the practical, such as OR flow, to the ethical, such as the role of resident teaching on new technologies with patients who are paying privately. · Jit Gohill, David B.

Breakfast will be served.
This symposium was co-developed with Alcon and was planned to achieve scientific integrity, objectivity and balance.
