ACS System for Verification of Knowledge and Skills
The Board of Regents of the American College of Surgeons has approved a five-level model for verification and documentation of knowledge and skills by the Division of Education, following participation in the educational programs of the College. The model provides a framework for designing and implementing educational courses, based on principles of contemporary surgical education, and permits provision of appropriate documentation to the attendees.
