The Fundamentals of laparoscopic Surgery (FLS™) program is a SAGES-ACS jointly supported educational module and assessment tool designed to teach the fundamental knowledge, judgment and technical skills required in basic laparoscopic surgery. Learning and applying these fundamentals will help ensure a minimal standard of care for patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. FLS also offers a proctored exam that gives surgical residents, fellows, and surgeons the opportunity to assess and document those skills.
