Since 1973, the mission of Selected Readings in General Surgery (SRGS)® has been to provide current and comprehensive surgical knowledge to practicing surgeons and residents throughout the world. The American College of Surgeons Division of Education began publishing SRGS in November 2007.
SRGS is a topic-specific, in-depth review of the field of general surgery, presented eight times a year. The intent of the publication is to analyze relevant medical literature to give the surgeon the knowledge necessary to practice state-of-the-art surgery. To accomplish this goal, the editor selects 100–125 pertinent articles from the literature for each issue. Each article is reviewed and an overview is written that places the content of these articles in the perspective of the best, day-to-day, clinical practice. In addition to the overview, 12–18 full-text articles are reprinted in each print, CD-ROM, and SRGS Connect Premium edition. The overview is compiled with the assistance of a 18-member, international editorial board who are experts in various areas that comprise the specialty of surgery.
A continuous publishing cycle of topics offers continuity of learning and retention. Each issue contains a self-assessment test that can earn participants 10 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ per issue, or 80 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ per year.
