Fellowship Council Accreditation, Core Curriculum and Program Requirements

You are here: Home / About The Fellowship Council / Fellowship Council Accreditation, Core Curriculum and Program Requirements

The FC’s Accreditation, Core Curriculum and Program Requirements were updated September 2019.  To access the document, please click here.

The guidelines in the attached document will:

  1. Provide a mechanism for establishing and accrediting fellowships in surgery.
  2. Provide a mechanism to ensure that FC accredited surgery fellowship programs attain and maintain a high level of quality.
  3. Provide mechanisms to ensure that surgery fellowships do not interfere with residency training in general surgery and/or any other ACGME approved/ABMS- or RCPSC- recognized surgical training program.
  4. Provide a central directory of approved surgery fellowships to which prospective fellows can apply.
  5. Provide a central directory of data on approved surgery fellowships to assist general surgery residents in choosing the best fellowship for themselves.
  6. Provide a diverse range of fellowship opportunities within the scope of general surgery.
  7. Provide a mechanism for matching in the various fellowships governed by the FC.
