The ACS Quality Improvement: The Basics has served as a foundational course in surgical quality improvement since it launched. To expand the reach of this important quality improvement education resource, the ACS now offers tiered pricing for the course based on ACS membership and World Bank income categories. 

In addition, ACS has launched the Quality Improvement Basics Course (LMIC), a new version designed specifically for healthcare professionals working in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This course features globally relevant examples tailored to low-resource settings.

Both courses are self-paced, fully online, and available for 1 year after registration.
