This book provides an invaluable study aid for all general surgery residents preparing for the American Board of Surgery In-Training Examination (ABSITE). ABSITE is taken annually by more than 7000 general surgery residents nationwide to ensure that specific learning objectives are being met in their training. Concisely written overviews of each topic covered on the exam combined with the self-test format offer a new and innovative approach. Each chapter is a short summary of a basic science or clinical topic and includes hundreds of related questions like those found on ABSITE. The book is targeted to trainees at various levels and also can be used to prepare for the qualifying (written) and certifying (oral) exams given by the American Board of Surgery upon completion of training. (This book will also serve as a supplemental review for non-U.S. trained surgeons seeking U.S. credentials to practice.)
