SSO recognizes that many Fellows have lost clinical training time due to COVID-19. To provide support and education, SSO is offering all first and second year CGSO fellows with complimentary access to SOSAP 2.0, SSO’s Surgical Oncology Self-Assessment Program. All CGSO Program Directors have been provided with login information for each CGSO Fellow. Please ask your Program Director for details.
Written by 60 SSO experts and updated in May 2017, SOSAP 2.0 is an online module that consists of 272 case-and problem-based multiple-choice questions focusing on six different disease sites including Breast, Melanoma/Sarcoma, Colorectal, Endocrine/Head and Neck, and HPB. In addition, SOSAP 2.0 is also available via an iPhone application. The content in SOSAP 2.0 will be available through June 30, 2020.
Additional training and education resources are available including the SSO/DeckerMed CGSO eLearning Resource with content developed by SSO members. This online resource is available for purchase and presents more than 108 review articles and surgical videos. Learn more.
In addition, 105 CGSO modules will become available as part of the Surgical Council on Resident Education’s portal. SCORE was formed in 2006 with the mission of improving the education of residents in general surgery and related sub-specialties through the development of a national curriculum. The content of the SCORE portal was written by members of the SSO SCORE Committee. The Committee was comprised of volunteer members who are experts in the various disease sites that encompass Complex General Surgical Oncology.
