RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The BRC II was a panel of 67 experts selected on the basis of experience and leadership in surgical education and training. METHODS: It was organized into subcommittees, each of which was asked to prepare a manuscript on their findings and recommendations. The BRC II Subcommittees were: Blue Ribbon Committee 1 Review and Assessment; Surgical Workforce; Medical Student Education; Work Life Integration; Resident Education; Goals, Structure and Financing of Training; Education Support and Faculty Development; Research Training; Educational Technology and Assessment. BRC II used the Delphi approach with consensus defined as equal to or greater than 80% and identified and recommended 31 priorities for surgical education in 2024. RESULTS: The initial findings were presented to a general surgery and related specialty resident and fellow focus group for comments and written feedback, and they were asked to prepare a manuscript as well. CONCLUSIONS: The reports of the Subcommittees of the BRC II provide an assessment and key recommendations concerning surgical education and training in 2024.
