Abstract

Introduction: The Surgical Council on Resident Education (SCORE) has presented a workshop annually at the annual meeting of the Association of Program Directors (APDS) to discuss the evolution of the SCORE portal and best practices for implementation within residency training programs. Methods/Results: A review of the literature was undertaken, along with a summation of discussion at these several workshops. A history of the SCORE project and a summary of its organizational framework and content are presented. In addition, best practices for use of SCORE within programs are described. Conclusions: The SCORE portal is now a decade old, and is used ubiquitously in US surgical training programs. With this experience, there is data to show the utility of SCORE to support trainee learning and programmatic didactics.
