AB  - BACKGROUND: Surgical training integrates the 4 steps of the Kolb learning cycle. 
      Residents who scored at 30th percentile or less on the American Board of Surgery 
      In-Training Exam (ABSITE) were enrolled in the Accelerated Clinical Education in 
      Surgery (ACES) course that incorporated the Kolb cycle. METHODS: For concrete 
      experience, Surgical Education and Self-Assessment Program (SESAP-13) was 
      completed according to the syllabus. For reflective consideration, further 
      reading was done on SESAP 13 topics and corresponding ABSITE Keywords. For the 
      abstract hypotheses step; these keywords and topics were reviewed with the 
      mentor. Active testing involved a required weekly on-line quiz based on the 
      syllabus. RESULTS: Correct scores on the ABSITE increased for 78.6% of residents 
      in the ACES course, with 28.6% scoring 30th percentile or greater. Senior percent 
      correct scores increased by 7.3% and junior percentile scores by 12.5%. 
      CONCLUSIONS: Remediation using the Kolb cycle improved ABSITE performance for a 
      majority of participants.
