This paper aimed to characterize the resident exposure to acute general surgical
conditions during a three-months rotation in a general surgical unit. The operative experience was variable for the general surgical residents.Exposure could be improved by a policy of resident assistance at emergency surgery. The infrequent consultant support may invalidate formative assessment of resident competence
