Apply for ACS General Surgery Oral Examination Prep Course

Two winter courses have been scheduled for the innovative ACS General Surgery Oral Examination Prep Course: one on January 23, and one on January 26, 2024. The deadline to apply is Tuesday, January 2, 2024.

The 1-day virtual course helps prepare candidates for the General Surgery Certifying Examination. The course focuses on the cognitive elements of responding to examination questions, applying decision-making algorithms, and conveying care plans with key decision points and rationale. Each participant will complete three, 30-minute oral examinations with three different pairs of expert faculty members who provide individualized verbal and written feedback.

Participant testimonials have shown that candidates feel more prepared for the oral examination after participating in this course, with one noting, “ACS mock oral course was very beneficial. It provides a similar experience to the real oral boards and the feedback was very helpful. Highly recommended!”

Visit the course web page and submit the completed application form to ceprepcourse@facs.org no later than January 2. For additional information, contact Jamie Ciccone at jciccone@facs.org or ceprepcourse@facs.org.
