Due to the influx of COVID-19 patients overwhelming hospital ICU capacity, many surgery departments are canceling/rescheduling elective surgery procedures to relieve stress on hospital infrastructure, health care workers, and supplies. The American College of Surgeons (ACS) has taken the lead on this and issued directives for hospitals and surgeons to follow:

As a result of these changes, many surgery residents are taking on different roles at their institutions to support the efforts of emergency, ICU, and anesthesiology departments to treat critically ill COVID-19 patients. To ensure that residents are keeping up with their surgery residency requirements during this challenging time, many will be turning to online resources like AccessSurgery.
To support this effort, we have put together the attached document that maps content on AccessSurgery to most clinical rotations, core surgical subspecialties, and surgery clerkship.

With our content maps, our digital medical resources are matched with academic curriculum or professional specialty needs for a specific audience (i.e., medical students, advanced practice nursing students, emergency medicine students, practicing clinicians, etc.). Resources highlighted in content maps include entire books, book chapters, quick references, multimedia, cases, and question banks. General content maps for faculty and students pair key MH resources with curriculum accreditation standards for specialty clinical education (i.e., undergraduate medical, family nurse practitioner, nurse midwifery, clinical nurse specialist, etc.). Customized content maps can be created on a case-by-case basis and are specific to an institution’s educational program or professional needs.
