We follow the Core Curriculum for Colon and Surgery Residents prepared by the Association of Program Directors for Colon and Rectal Surgery (APDCRS). Didactic resources utilized include the ASCRS Textbook of Colon and Rectal Surgery as well as the online educational modules provided by the ASCRS (CREST). Our goal is to foster a non-stressful educational environment that will prepare our trainees well for practice and successful completion of the American Board of Colon and Rectal Surgery written and oral examinations after completion of their training.
