The learning agreement

Abstract

The fundamental principle at the heart of the inter collegiate surgical curriculum project (ISCP) is that surgeons should continue to learn and develop throughout each stage of their careers and that learning should be formalised and demonstrable according to predefined standards. In order to ensure these standards have been met, learning is underpinned by a formal appraisal process designed to provide supervision of surgical trainees as they progress through each stage of the curriculum.
