Medicolegal Considerations
Key Features
1. Will cover review material to prepare for both the oral and
written certification exams in surgery. No other board review
provides this.
2. More comprehensive in general. Slated to have over 1400 questions.
Rush only has 1200.
3. 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.
4. Rationale for answers will be more thorough"All explanations will
be keyed to relevant pathophysiology and evidence-based clinical
truth.
5. Many photographic examples and questions related to new minimally
invasive surgical techniques(see stomach, GI tract, and vascular
chapters.)
6. 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.
7. Not too simple for the re-certifying surgeon or too esoteric for
the general surgical resident certifying for the first time.
The only comprehensive surgery review for surgeons to prepare for
both their written and oral board exams!
Perfect for certification and re-certification, this review includes
over 1,400 multiple-choice questions and answers on the full spectrum
of general surgery topics.
Features over 600 illustrations depicting radiology, gross pathology,
and clinical examples, which serve as the basis for the
identification based oral boards
