The Association of Program Directors in Surgery (APDS) is a member of the Surgical Council on Resident Education (SCORE), a non-profit consortium of the leading organizations involved in U.S. surgical education. SCORE’s mission is to improve the education of residents in general surgery and its related specialties and subspecialties through the development of a standard national curriculum and accompanying web portal containing educational materials in support of the curriculum. SCORE’s web portal is now available to all general surgery residents in the United States. For more information, visit www.surgicalcore.org.
The Association of Program Directors in Surgery is one of the founding members of SCORE. APDS has contributed financially to SCORE, and numerous APDS members have been writers and editors for SCORE curriculum modules. APDS involvement with SCORE is ongoing through our Curriculum Committee and through our representatives to the SCORE steering committee (President, President-Elect, and Curriculum Committee Chair).

Recognizing the importance of improving surgical technical skills and enhancing patient safety, Covidien, a leading manufacturer of medical devices and supplies, has created The Covidien Educational Fund. This generous gift supports the introduction of the FLS Educational program into North American residency and fellowship training. Through this grant, FLS is available to program directors to use as a standardized educational tool for teaching and verification of learning of their trainees. The Covidien Educational Fund brings no-cost training and testing directly to over 250 surgical residency programs in the United States and Canada, reaching thousands of surgeons-in-training over a three-year period, as well as MIS/HPB/colorectal fellowships for one year.
