- Identify gaps of knowledge that exist with the breast surgeon, and, in turn, help generate educational content to address them.
- Serve as an option for surgeons to obtain the self-assessment credits necessary to fulfill the American Board of Surgery's Continuous Certification requirements for recertification.
