The American College of Surgeons knows that preparing for surgery can be overwhelming. We created this Patient Checklist to encourage open communication with your surgical care team. It will help you keep track of your questions so you can be sure to get them answered prior to surgery. This checklist can also help make sure that your care team understands your goals and how they can support you to achieve the best possible outcome.
