- General Page - Tier 1About SAIL The James and Sylvia Earl Simulation to Advance Innovation and Learning Center (SAIL), is a world-class medical simulation and training facility in Annapolis, Md., located a few miles from the Chesapeake Bay. The Center is part of Anne Arundel Medical Center, a not-for-profit, independent hospital. The mission of The Earl SAIL Center is to promote the provision of safe care for patients through advanced training that is ahead of the rest of the country and usually available only in major academic medical centers. About 80 percent of all U.S. health care is delivered in non-academic, private centers. The Earl SAIL Center is critical to achieving and maintaining national patient safety goals as new medical technologies continue to emerge at an ever increasing pace. Additionally, as part of its mission and infrastructure, The Earl SAIL Center is designed to foster the creation, co-development and evaluation of intellectual property in a more cost effective, efficient and incentivized fashion than academic medical centers. The Earl SAIL Center provides an environment dedicated to conducting world-class clinical research, training the next generations of health care providers, and facilitating efforts that will ensure excellence in the medical practices of the future. The Center hosts teleconferences, monthly national multi-center teleconferences, lectures, research, and large group sessions for resident surgical education, all of which help to develop staff skills and knowledge. The Earl SAIL Center serves not only the medical profession, but it also provides tours and educational opportunities for area school children, the community, patients, families and organizations dedicated to health care improvement and patient safety.

- General Page - Tier 2Research Programs The James and Sylvia Earl Simulation to Advance Innovation and Learning Center (SAIL) is engaged in various research studies and initiatives designed to improve the delivery of health care and the practice of medicine. A major part of its mission revolves around continuing medical education of health care practitioners and improving patient care and safety. Through teaching and practice, participants learn how to use new medical technologies, apply innovative methods and approaches to care, and learn how to improve and refine their care delivery skills. , , Surgery Research Research by the Numbers Since 2019, the LHAAMC department of surgery has had; 45 presentations at national and international meetings including the annual meetings of the society for gastrointestinal and endoscopic surgeons (SAGES), American College of Surgeons (ACS), Society of Surgical Oncology (SSO), American Hernias Society (AHS), and American Society of Breast Surgeons (ASBS). 38 peer-reviewed publications in leading journals including Surgical Endoscopy, Surgery, Journal of Surgical Research, Surgical Innovation, Annals of Surgical Oncology, Clinical Breast Cancer, and the Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery. 3 Research fellows (100%) placed in leading national residency programs. 2 published book chapters in The Atlas of Robotic General Surgery and The SAGES Manual of Hernia Surgery., , An Overview of Recent Events in the Department of Surgery Research Surgical faculty, residents, and fellows published in major areas of importance, including investigating patient outcomes after foregut surgery, exploring topics around robotic surgeries for abdominal wall repair, the (positive!) impact of our new residency program on surgical outcomes, and many research and innovation efforts around our collective response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Essential to the success of any research program is the organization of consistently well attended research meetings which occurs with Acute Care Surgery, Breast Surgery, General and Minimally Invasive Surgery, and Orthopedics. Additionally, in 2020 a department wide surgery research meeting was established to share ideas and present research findings. The Department of Surgery was well represented at both national and international conferences with our faculty and students giving invited research presentations at locations around the country – from San Diego to Florida, and from Las Vegas to Chicago. Internationally, Dr. Alex Addo represented the Department at the European Association for Endoscopic Surgery in Seville, Spain, and our Chair Dr. Park continued to impress audiences around the world with presentations and teaching engagements across Europe and Africa. In the spring of 2019 we also submitted our first federal funding applications to the Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality (AHRQ) and the Department of Defense (DoD). Under the leadership of Elizabeth Harris, we continue to integrate surgical research into the operations of our simulation center (SAIL Center), with a particular focus on Human Factors in Healthcare research, expanding our surgical simulation and training research opportunities. During the pandemic we utilized our engaged clinician base and learner groups to pivot our efforts to focus on the impact of the coronavirus on our operations and our patients. We are actively participating in research efforts regarding impacts of COVID-19 infection on perioperative outcomes (Dr. Zaidi leading) and utilizing Thoracic Point of Care Ultrasound (T-POCUS) as a means to identify COVID-19 infection (Dr. Park leading). Dr. Zaidi’s project is analyzing outcomes of two populations: 1) patients with asymptomatic COVID-19 undergoing surgery before the OR Lockdown; 2) outcomes of known COVID-19 infected patients and non-COVID-19 infected patients undergoing emergency or urgent surgery during the period March 14th (post OR lockdown) through June 2020 (OR re-opening). Examining outcomes for this population will enable the surgical team to better care for future COVID-19 patients who require surgical interventions. Dr. Park’s project, which is an international collaboration, is establishing an image repository of thoracic point of care ultrasound images, which will later be used to train an artificial intelligence image analysis tool for “smart imaging”.
