RAS Symposium

Five-year General Surgery Residency:  Reform or Reformation?

This year’s RAS-ACS Symposium will feature a topic centered on the future of general surgical training.  In the face of uncharted heath care territory, questions, fears, and speculation are raised about postgraduate education.  The Affordable Care Act and reimbursement and distribution of ACGME funds will have a lasting effect on surgical training.  The question is how to keep up.  Will residents be able to adapt or put up “blinders” and wait for things to return to the way they were?  This session will be followed by audience question and interaction.  For additional information, contact RASNews@facs.org.
