The Program Director’s Handbook is a compilation of resources addressing practical and real-world topics for surgery educators. It addresses various aspects of effectively leading a General Surgery residency program, mitigating the requirements and expectations of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and American Board of Surgery (ABS) and managing common challenges that program directors will face. The resources are written by educators, for educators. This section should be viewed as a “living document” that can be updated with new content, additional examples, and emerging topics that impact surgical education.
