The Association for Surgical Education was formed in 1980 and its members represent over 190 medical schools and institutions throughout the USA. With a focus on educational scholarship, the mission of the Association for Surgical Education (ASE) is to lead innovation, scholarship, and professional development in surgical education. ASE has two fellowship opportunities that align with their mission, the Surgical Education and Leadership Fellowship (SELF) and the Surgical Education Research Fellowship (SERF) [, ]. SELF is a one-year fellowship designed for all ASE members to improve their teaching, education design, and leadership skills in surgical education. SERF is a one year, home-site fellowship designed to equip investigators with the skills and knowledge needed to plan, implement, and report research studies in the field of surgical education.

N2 - The foundational principles of surgical training in the USA are based on didactic education, structured skill training, and experiential learning in surgical patient care with the supervision of surgical faculty. A consortium of professional organizations, academic institutions, and teaching hospitals with surgical faculty provide the structural framework, policies, and curriculum to train and evaluate surgeons capable of independent practice. This manuscript describes the roles of the organizations responsible for surgical training in the USA and highlights areas in evolution in the modern surgical education landscape.
