News from the SVS

The American Board of Surgery has announced the details of its new Continuous Certification Program, shaped by surgeon feedback and designed to provide greater value, flexibility and convenience in maintaining ABS board certification. Instead of taking one recertification exam every 10 years, surgeons will use the new program to demonstrate their surgical knowledge on a continual basis. General surgeons will follow the new assessment this year; members of other ABS specialties will do so over the next few years.
