Each candidate for examination must complete and submit
an Application for Examination which may be obtained on our website.
The Application must also be accompanied by two unmounted, recent photographs of the applicant, and the required application fee.
As part of the application process, a resident must submit a list of all operative procedures performed during their training period. Case log reporting is completed using the electronic software provided by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). Login instructions and deadline dates were provided to residents at the beginning of their training and are accessible through the ACGME website www.acgme.org The American Board of Colon and Rectal Surgery will obtain the information directly from the ACGME.
The acceptability of a candidate for examination depends not only upon completion of the requirements listed under "Qualifications of Candidates," but also upon information available to the Board regarding the candidate’s professional maturity, surgical judgment, and technical competence.
