Abstract

Covid-19 pandemic with its restrictions on social interactions including the need for physical distancing has had a profound effect on surgical education. Several innovative ideas have been put into action by surgeons to overcome this limitation. Holding online conferences is one such innovation. We present here the basic template for holding a cost-effective online conference based on the experience gained from a successful and well-received midterm conference of the Karnataka State Chapter of the Association of Surgeons of India.
