The General Surgery Written Review is a five-day program consisting of didactic lectures (with searchable e-syllabus containing all PowerPoint® presentations), Q&A time at the end of each topic, and an optional Q&A session at the end of the day. This inclusive review is designed to update your clinical information base as well as to help you pass your General Surgery exams. Emphasis is on evidence-based medicine and board-relevant standards of care, incorporating modern best practice methods, surgical approaches, and clinical follow-up techniques. As a result, it provides a good review for your in-service or qualifying exams as well as providing a thorough general surgery summary for practicing physicians Many of our previous participants found the course provided them with improved diagnostic and planning strategies, a better comprehension of the best surgical approaches for the principle areas covered by general surgeons, and helped them recognize areas of weakness for further self-study.
