General surgery is a discipline that requires knowledge and responsibility for the preoperative, surgical, and postoperative management of patients with a wide range of conditions, including those who may require nonsurgical, elective, or emergency treatment. The breadth and depth of this knowledge may vary depending on the disease category. Surgical management requires skill in complex decision-making. General surgeons should be competent in diagnosis as well as treatment and management, including surgical intervention.
The certified general surgeon demonstrates broad knowledge and experience in conditions affecting the:
Alimentary Tract
Abdomen and its Contents
Breast, Skin and Soft Tissue
Endocrine System
In addition, the certified general surgeon demonstrates broad knowledge and experience in:
Surgical Critical Care
Surgical Oncology
Trauma
The field of general surgery as a specialty includes, but is not limited to, the performance of operations and procedures related to the content areas listed above. The expert surgeon is also expected to have more knowledge and experience in the above areas in the following categories:
Related disciplines, including anatomy, physiology, epidemiology, immunology, and pathology (including neoplasia).
Clinical care domains, including wound healing; infection
and antibiotic usage; fluid and electrolyte management; transfusion and
disorders of coagulation; shock and resuscitation; metabolism and
nutrition; minimally invasive and endoscopic intervention (including
colonoscopy and upper endoscopy); appropriate use and interpretation of
radiologic diagnostic and therapeutic imaging; and pain management.
The certified general surgeon also is expected to have knowledge and
skills for diseases requiring team-based interdisciplinary care,
including related leadership competencies. Certified general surgeons
additionally must possess knowledge of the unique clinical needs of the
following specific patient groups:
Terminally ill patients, to include palliative care and
pain management; nutritional deficiency; cachexia in patients with
malignant and chronic conditions; and counseling and support for
end-of-life decisions and care.
Morbidly obese patients, to include metabolic derangements; surgical and non-surgical
interventions for weight loss (bariatrics); and
counseling of patient and families.
Geriatric surgical patients, to include management of comorbid chronic diseases.
Culturally diverse and vulnerable patient populations.
In some circumstances, the certified general surgeon
provides care in the following disease areas. However, comprehensive
knowledge and management of conditions in these areas generally requires
additional training:
