ACS Hosts Free Military Surgery Curriculum Webinar in March

February 25, 2025

To help surgeons achieve and maintain their clinical readiness, the ACS, in coordination with the Military Health System Strategic Partnership ACS and the Uniformed Services University Health Sciences in Bethesda, Maryland, maintains a free video-based resource—the Military Clinical Readiness Curriculum, also known as the “mCurriculum.”

International surgeons are encouraged to learn more about the program in a free upcoming webinar, 3:00–4:00 pm Wednesday, March 26, where the International Relations Committee and the Military Health System Strategic Partnership at the ACS will introduce the Military Clinical Readiness Curriculum to International Surgeons.

Despite its domestic and military roots, the mCurriculum is useful to surgeons anywhere, including international locations. The curriculum is designed for a general surgeon deployed to a relatively far-forward battlefield base who must be capable of providing initial trauma resuscitation and life- and limb-saving surgical procedures for those injured in combat, but it will also be useful to civilian trauma and general surgeons.

Learn more and register today.
