The American College of Surgeons Surgical History Group has organized this educational resource on the history of surgery. It is specifically designed for medical students and residents in training. Our goal is to introduce the important milestones that have impacted the field. Knowing these events fosters an appreciation of the contributions that have been made to our field, to science, and to humankind. The resource consists of a number of modules, each focused on a separate topic on the history of surgery. Additional resources are being developed and will be added to the curriculum in the coming years.
