Medical College of Wisconsin General Surgery Residency Program Resources

Opportunities exist for residents to improve teaching abilities through the American College of Surgeons Course “Residents as Teachers and Leaders Course” which is designed to educate residents in the development of essential non-clinical skills that are critical to their success as senior level residents to be more effective teachers.

Each resident receives electronic copies of Selected Readings in General Surgery and has access to online resources available through the Medical College of Wisconsin Library.

SCORE is the General Surgery Resident Curriculum Portal that delivers educational content aligned with the curriculum to general surgery residents and residency programs.
