editorEthical Issues in Surgical Care is a definitive textbook on ethical issues
in surgical practice. This unique resource defines the field of surgical ethics
as it has evolved over the past decade, provides a foundation for understanding
many of the central ethical issues in surgical practice, and organizes the
essential principles in a practical way that promotes application to surgical
care. The book was developed under the auspices of the American College of
Surgeons (ACS) Division of Education and the Committee on Ethics. The editors
have compiled 21 chapters that address the broad areas of the surgeon-patient
relationship, the surgeon and the surgical profession, and the surgeon and
society. Written by experts in surgical ethics, chapters focus on the unique
circumstances of surgeons and the practice of surgery. Case scenarios are
included to ground the ethical discussions in the realities of clinical
practice. Topics include the distinctive aspects of surgical ethics, surgical
judgment and uncertainty, a toolbox for surgical ethics, duties and obligations
of surgeons, informed consent, disclosure, end-of-life issues, surgical
innovation, conflicts of interest, ethics in surgical research and publication,
mentor-mentee relationships, teaching surgical ethics, errors, organ transplant
patients, and global challenges in ethics. The printed book includes access to
an online version. Interested in earning 38 AMA PRA Category I Credits™ to

This Division of Education publication lists the critical cognitive, clinical, and technical skills needed to help new surgical residents be better prepared for their first year of residency training. The first section addresses the essential areas of knowledge and skills that surgical residents should possess at the beginning of the first year of residency education. The second section lists the essential areas of knowledge and skills expected of residents at the completion of the first year.
The document lays the groundwork for education and training in all surgical specialties and includes contemporary topics in surgery within the context of the six core competencies identified by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (medical knowledge, patient care, professionalism, interpersonal and communication skills, practice-based learning and improvement, and systems-based practice). In addition, heavy emphasis has been placed on patient safety issues.
The “Essentials” publication, which replaces the “Prerequisites for Graduate Surgical Education: A Guide for Medical Students and PGY-1 Surgical Residents, ” should be helpful to medical students interested in surgery, surgical residents, and residency program directors. The spiral-bound publication fits in a lab coat pocket for easy reference, and also is available as a downloadable file. This project was supported by the Agency for Health Care Research and Quality Grant U18 HS12021 and is free of charge.
