PREFACE – Seminars in Colon and Rectal Surgery

This issue of Seminars in Colon and Rectal Surgery reviews the relevant topics pertaining to the training and certification process of colon and rectal surgeons. Colon and rectal surgery has been considered a unique specialty for nearly 100 years and the process to train and certify surgeons in our specialty has been an area of intense interest by leaders in the field. Founders of the specialty realized early that appropriate oversight and governance of both the training paradigm and the certification process was necessary to ensure that those who practiced colon and rectal surgery were held to a high standard and could deliver the best possible patient outcomes.
