American College of Surgeons: Clinical Scholars in Residence Program
The American College of Surgeons (ACS) is offering a two-year onsite fellowship in surgical outcomes research, health services research, and healthcare policy. The primary goal of the program is to involve the Clinical Scholar in the ongoing quality improvement initiatives of the ACS such as the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP), the National Cancer Data Base (NCDB), Trauma Quality Improvement Program (TQIP), guideline development, and accreditation programs. The Clinical Scholar will also be able to conduct research in a variety of areas relevant to ongoing projects within the ACS. In parallel, the scholar will have the opportunity to complete a Master of Science degree in Clinical Investigation, Health Services and Outcomes Research, or Healthcare Quality and Patient Safety through Northwestern University.
The ACS Clinical Scholars in Residence program is a unique opportunity which allows the surgical resident to gain first-hand experience in outcomes and health services research at a national health care organization. The program also prepares the Clinical Scholar for a career in academic surgery with a focus on national surgical healthcare issues. The program is open to applicants who have completed two or three years of surgical residency and have obtained two years of program funding from their home institution or other granting agency.
