Abstract

The Resident and Fellow Education Committee of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract (SSAT) hosted a "How to" course for resident reviewers at the 2021 Annual Meeting at Digestive Disease Week. This panel drew from their extensive experience to help neophyte reviewers perform high quality, comprehensive peer reviews. Dr. Snyder kicked off the session with "Why Should I be a Resident Reviewer?" Dr. Talamini followed by "Defining the Review Process," while Dr. Keller presented "OK, You Are Ready to Review, Where to Start?" Dr. Pawlik ended the session with "How to Be an Excellent Reviewer." Residents are encouraged to apply the content from these sessions to volunteer as reviewers and develop critical skills to help further their academic surgery career.
