The Acute Care Surgery Case Log is essential to the success of your Acute Care Surgery Fellowship program. By entering the cases in the case log excel spreadsheet, when it is time for your site revisit, the committee and revisit team will pull your cases from the Case Log spreadsheet and review them prior to the visit. This will save you and the revisit team time prior to the visit. If you have any questions on the case log database system, please contact the AAST Central Office at 800-789-4006 or email us.
