Enrollment remains open for four ACSprograms designed to support surgical residency training from internship through senior residency. Together, these assessment and curriculum offerings provide program directors with an integrated approach to measuring readiness, strengthening clinical decision-making, and reinforcing essential content across the continuum of training.
The ACSEntering Resident Readiness Assessment® (ACSERRA®) is a psychometrically rigorous, case-based formative assessment focused on clinical decision-making skills. Results support individualized learning plans early in training. Enrollment ends June 5.
Complementing this assessment, the ACSFundamentals of Surgery Curriculum® (ACSFSC®) delivers more than 100 interactive, case-based scenarios across essential content areas, helping interns across all surgical specialties build confidence and critical thinking skills from day one.
The ACSSenior Resident Readiness Assessment (ACSSRRA) evaluates complex decision-making using a validated key-features methodology, providing actionable feedback to support the transition to greater autonomy. SRRA administration has been moved 3 months earlier than in 2025 to provide timelier results. Enrollment ends June 5.
The ACSCognitive Simulations: Cases Essential to Surgical Practice (CogSim) curriculum further strengthens advanced clinical reasoning through realistic patient scenarios spanning core areas of general surgery. Note: FSC and CogSim now offer bundled pricing, and programs can receive CogSim at 50% off when they purchase FSC.
All four programs target surgical program directors seeking structured, outcomes-focused educational solutions. Watch your email inbox for details and demonstration opportunities.
