ASCRS U: Colorectal Surgery

ASCRS U Contains:

THE ASCRS TEXTBOOK OF COLON AND RECTAL SURGERY (4th edition)
One given definition of the word textbook is “a book used as a standard work for the study of a particular subject.” Our collective goal for the fourth edition of The ASCRS Textbook of Colon and Rectal Surgery was to make this volume the standard for the study of colon and rectal surgery, providing a valuable resource for surgeons and health care providers at all stages of their career caring for patients with colorectal disease. This edition provides all newly written chapters, organized around the “pillars” of colorectal disease: perioperative (including endoscopy); anorectal disease; benign disease (including inflammatory bowel disease); malignancy; pelvic floor disorders; and a “miscellaneous” section that covers aspects both inside and beyond the operating room.

CARSEP XI
The Colon and Rectal Surgery Educational Program (CARSEP®) series is one of the most valued educational tools offered by ASCRS. Test your knowledge with this self-assessment exam to prepare for the qualifying examination of the American Board of Colon and Rectal Surgery (ABCRS) or to earn continuing medical education (CME) and stay current with the latest practice recommendations.

FUNDAMENTALS OF RECTAL CANCER (FRCS)
To improve rectal cancer outcomes, our patients need us to work together in a standardized multidisciplinary approach to their care. The goal of FRCS is to be a definitive resource for all surgeons who care for rectal cancer patients, to promote high-quality, evidence-based surgical and perioperative care. The program also meets standard 8.1 for NAPRC hospital accreditation and is eligible for CME credit.

VIDEO MENTORSHIP SERIES RECORDINGS
The ASCRS video mentorship series aims to build a community of learners who regularly engage in intraoperative video-based coaching sessions using a learner-contributory moderated format with the goal of sharing operative techniques and improving procedural confidence.

WEBINAR RECORDINGS
Almost 30 webinars covering a variety of topics related to colorectal care. Up to 16 CME credits can be earned. For upcoming live webinars and what will be added here soon, visit the webinar page.
