Overview

This process involves building the anatomic and pathophysiologic fund of knowledge required to understand surgical disease, acquiring and refining the cognitive and technical skills required to correct it, and developing the clinical judgment and decision-making necessary to know when to exercise it.

Integral to this process is the graduated independence or progressive autonomy afforded to trainees as they transition to the independent provision of safe, high-quality surgical care. Acquisition of clinical judgment requires and decision-making hours of deliberate practice in surgical training.
