The first week focuses on specific topics in general abdominal surgery, including gastrointestinal, urinary, and reproductive surgery, using both anatomical models and real patients. Emphasis is placed on the importance of patient stabilization, recovery, and prognosis. In the second week, more advanced topics are covered, such as hepatobiliary, adrenal, oncological, and reconstructive surgery, as well as principles of thoracic surgery. To obtain certification, the doctor must complete a journal club, where they analyze a current publication on a surgical topic, either individually or in a group. This, along with their participation during the course, will contribute to the necessary score for certification.

The introduction of this program gives special attention to the stabilization of emergency patients, emphasizing the importance of improving prognosis in different cases.

The techniques included in the program are gastric dilatation-volvulus, surgical management of urethral obstruction, peritonitis, diaphragmatic hernia, partial and total hepatic lobectomy, and splenectomy.
