Didactic Curriculum
The AAST ACS Program Directors have developed an outline of trauma and emergency general surgery topics that are felt to represent the minimum expectations for 2nd year fellows. This curriculum is meant to highlight topics that should expand upon the fellow’s general surgery training. These are meant to supplement the fellow’s knowledge base and expose them to some of the dilemmas faced by the practicing ACS surgeon.
