RRC Requirements:

"The residents must be required to participate in a structured experience in general surgery of at least 2 months, including ambulatory care (non-inpatient care: e.g., surgical centers, emergency room and physician offices), operating room experience, and post-operative experience. Experiences in general surgery must be designed to provide opportunity for residents to achieve competency in the diagnosis and management of a wide variety of common surgical problems typically cared for by family physicians. Experiences are usually expected to be with general surgeons. If non-generalist surgeons are used for this experience, the program director must explain how this experience exposes residents to common surgical problems."
