Abstract
The field of Colon and Rectal Surgery has a rich history which has significantly evolved over the years from its beginnings as the American Board of Proctology to what is now the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgery with over 3000 members. Although the training requirements have changed dramatically, the interest of graduating General Surgery Residents for Colon and Rectal Surgery continues to soar. The rising popularity of the field is reflected in the increasing number of fellowship programs as well as the greater number of practicing Colon and Rectal Surgeons.
