Essentials for the ABS Certifying Examination
About this book
In-depth study guide for the American Board of Surgery (ABS) oral certifying examination
Essentials for the ABS Certifying Examination is a comprehensive study guide that encompasses the full breadth of topics covered by the ABS oral examination in General Surgery.
Unlike traditional surgical textbooks or MCQ-based resources, this book is specifically designed to mirror the unique format and decision-making challenges of the oral certifying exam.
In Essentials for the ABS Certifying Examination, readers will find:
- Information unfolded gradually to mirror the logic and practicality of the actual exam
- Real-life scenarios and situations, which the exam aspires to emulate
- Exercises that test the reader's ability to adapt to the evolution of events within a clinical scenario, with accompanying follow up questions
- Knowledge that is not too detailed, basic, or trivial, but rather clinically substantive and precisely relevant for the decision-making needed to pass the exam scenarios
- Coverage of the full spectrum of General Surgery topics tested
Essentials for the ABS Certifying Examination is an essential study guide for final year residents and General Surgeons preparing to take the ABS oral certifying exam. It is also valuable for General Surgery residents not in their final year or taking the exam, wishing to prepare for in-residency oral examinations and rounds.
