Our mission is to offer universal access to excellent lifelong surgical training / learning shouldn’t be exclusive to a few privileged HCPs. Surgery has advanced more in the last 15 years than in the past 150 years, and only 3% of healthcare professionals in the world can keep up to date (due to time, resources and other restrictions). 
 At AIS we believe in facilitating free remote access to excellent surgical contents (synchronous or on demand) provided by the best international surgeons.
