Surgical Foundations | Fundamentals of Surgery Course

The ACS Fundamentals of Surgery Curriculum(R) (ACS FSC) is a highly interactive, case-based, online curriculum that addresses the essential content areas that all surgical residents need to master in the early years of training. Developed by the American College of Surgeons Division of Education, the curriculum includes more than 99 simulated case scenarios in which residents are asked to recognize and assess symptoms and signs, order appropriate tests and procedures, evaluate data, and initiate appropriate actions. Surgical Foundations residents must complete the course prior to the last Competence Committee meeting of their PGY 1 year.
