Apply for ACS Mastery in General Surgery Program for 2024–2025 Term

June 27, 2023

Positions are available for the ACS Mastery in General Surgery Program for the 2024–2025 academic year, and surgery residents are encouraged to apply for positions that will begin in fall 2024.  Applicants may review the program profiles on the ACS website and submit an application to MasteryGS@facs.org.

Celebrating its 10th anniversary since launch this year, the ACS Mastery in General Surgery program provides graduating surgery residents with a personalized experience in clinical settings during the first year in practice, with close mentoring from senior surgeons that offers a valuable experience during the transition from residency to independent practice.

Individuals enrolled in this program serve as junior associates in general surgery practice environments and are given graduated autonomy during the year to advance their surgical skills, decision-making, and case management under the watchful eye of expert senior surgeons. Associates learn about the business of medicine and acquire skills to succeed in the evolving healthcare environment. They receive specific feedback throughout the year and at the conclusion of the program.

Access more information and apply today. For additional information, contact Rachel Williams Newman, MS, at rnewman@facs.org
