Unbound Medicine and the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons (ASCRS) have announced the launch of ASCRS U – a premier educational resource available for colorectal surgeons and trainees. Unbound Medicine is a leader in knowledge management solutions for healthcare and ASCRS is a community of health care professionals dedicated to advancing the understanding, prevention, and treatment of disorders of the colon, rectum, and anus.
Prior to the creation of ASCRS U, learning materials for colorectal surgeons were scattered across different locations, lacking organization, and were not personalized. For surgeons with limited and highly valuable time, it was a challenge to stay up to date and maintain professional certification efficiently.
With ASCRS U, surgeons now have a single-entry portal to a wide variety of premier educational resources including references, guidelines, journals, courses, self-assessment banks, and video instruction. Powered by the flexible Unbound™ Platform, ASCRS U transforms the traditional learning management system into a sophisticated educational experience where surgeons can choose various educational modalities and absorb their contents at their own pace and on their device of choice.
The outcome of this partnership – utilizing Unbound Medicine’s expertise in solving knowledge problems and ASCRS expert colorectal surgery information – is a web and mobile app portal that provides four major educational pillars required for lifelong learning. These include resources to answer questions at the point of need, tools to stay up to date with the latest research, courses to maintain professional certification, and mentorship to learn from fellow surgeons.
