Question of the Week

The Question of the Week (QOTW) program is a free-of-charge member benefit, created to be a quick, fun learning experience for breast surgeons. The program is designed help members assess and improve their competency in key areas they face in their practice. QOTW also serves as an opportunity to help fulfill the self-assessment requirement of the American Board of Surgery's Continuous Certification program.

Participating members receive a bi-weekly breast-related case, complete two follow-up questions, and review the ‘take-home point’ along with supporting references. Upon completing questions, participants will be able to see how other members answered, view many credits they have earned, and have the ability to print their transcript at any time. Read the cases and answer the questions at any time and from any device that has internet access — at your desk, waiting in line or on-the-go. Each activity stays available for two weeks before it is replaced by a new activity, so check back often!

At any time, please feel free to send suggestions or topics that might improve the program. QOTW is a constant work in progress that must evolve with contemporary practice and the supporting literature. We hope you enjoy QOTW and agree that it represents the Society's continued commitment and investment to its members ongoing practice improvement and lifelong learning.
