The following institutions have successfully met the program requirements of the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Program for Accreditation of Education Institutes, and as a result are accredited as Level I ACS Accredited Education Institutes. All of the listed accredited Institutes received an accreditation of three years.
One of the goals of the accreditation program is to build a community of institutions interested in furthering surgical education. Therefore, we have received permission from each of the Accredited Education Institutes to provide names and e-mail addresses of those individuals who are willing to be contacted about their programs. However, it is up to the contacts at the Accredited Education Institutes to determine the level of information that each facility is willing to provide and share. This support is done on a voluntary basis.
