* These topics are currently split over multiple modules on the SCORE Portal; the modules are scheduled to be combined in the future. See Changes to Patient Care for more details.

Core: Diseases and procedures encountered in general surgery for which a graduate of training will possess significant knowledge and be able to provide comprehensive care, including procedural
competency.
Advanced: Diseases and procedures that are not consistently part of general surgery practice for which a graduate of training should have sufficient knowledge to make a diagnosis and provide
initial management. In some instances, graduates of training will have sufficient knowledge and experience to provide comprehensive care.
