Key Features
- Will cover review material to prepare for both the oral and written certification exams in surgery. No other board review provides this.
- More comprehensive in general. Slated to have over 1400 questions. Rush only has 1200.
- Illustrations are lynch-pin here. Over 600 depicting relevant radiology, gross pathology, and clinical examples in each chapter. Being able to identify these entities are critical to scoring well on the oral boards.
- Rationale for answers will be more thorough?All explanations will be keyed to relevant pathophysiology and evidence-based clinical truth.
- Many photographic examples and questions related to new minimally invasive surgical techniques(see stomach, GI tract, and vascular chapters.)
- Questions related to molecular and scientific underpinnings of disease will be included in each chapter. Will reflect an increased focus of this on the boards.
- Not too simple for the re-certifying surgeon or too esoteric for the general surgical resident certifying for the first time.
