Appropriate resident oversight is essential in the complex process of surgical training. Various committees work cohesively to support trainees to meet predetermined objective competencies and achieve practice readiness. The Clinical Competency Committee (CCC) is a central and crucial part of surgical education in its work to ensure trainees are evaluated objectively and to determine appropriateness for progression in training. The CCC works to form a group consensus regarding trainee performance through unbiased review from diverse perspectives. CCCs are supported by Education Committees designed to develop comprehensive curricula to facilitate trainee knowledge and skill attainment, as well as by Remediation Committees to assist with structured and individualized performance improvement when deficiencies are identified. These units work cohesively together to ensure that trainees are provided with the resources and guidance needed to be successful in training and ultimately feel prepared for independent practice and delivery of excellent patient care.
