Residents: Take a Deep Dive on Surgical Teaching and Leadership at High-Impact ACS Course

February 28, 2023

Registration is open for the annual ACS Residents as Teachers and Leaders Course. The 2023 program, in-person Friday, March 24, to Sunday, March 26, at the ACS Headquarters in Chicago, IL, is designed specifically for surgery residents and will address the essential nonclinical skills—teaching and leading—that are required for success as surgeons and members of the healthcare team.

The course faculty, featuring nationally renowned clinical and educational professionals, will provide an interactive learning environment. 

The course will address the following essential skills for residents’ lifelong roles as teachers, leaders, and practicing surgeons:

Effective Teaching

  • Establishing a positive learning climate
  • Finding time to teach
  • Teaching in ambulatory settings and the operating room
  • Giving feedback on performance

Successful Leading

  • Developing and leading productive teams
  • Resolving conflict
  • Using different leadership styles effectively
  • Maximizing various working styles

This course is targeted at mid- to senior-level residents, but all are welcome to attend. Registration information is available on the course web page, and the deadline to register is March 17. Space is limited, so register today.
