Customer Reviews

Good surgery review book!

This book is organized into short, pertinent chapters. It highlights the basic science needed for PGY1 and PGY2 taking the absite but also has very pertinent clinical information for all PGY years. The pictures are excellent and helpful. It is a short read per chapter which is helpful too. Overall, this book should be very highly recommended to people who want something to read to study instead of reviewing bulletted information that you find in some other study guides.

The best

This is one of the best sources for absite especially for junior version. Must read book for surgical intern

Moving to the USA from Europe

Its rather important to understand how another health system thinks about disease. This book written by residents give an excellent initial insight into the US surgical resident's thinking. I was trained in Ireland and there are some interesting differences that this book highlights.

A terrific review for the ABSITE

I read this book and my in-training exam score went up by over sixty points. It's not exactly a quick read at over 500 pages, but it's very readable and it contains all the information covered in the ABSITE exam. I highly recommend it as a review book for surgery residents looking to improve their scores.

Intense absite review

This book is the first of its kind to prepare you in total for the Absite examination. This book incorporates basic science with the clinical science in order to allow you to review for the tests in a short text version without having to decipher through large textbooks. It has references to O'leary, the basic science book used during my residency, as well as to other major textbooks. This book seems to cut out the redundency of larger books and includes small facts that they love to ask on the exam. A must for those with weak scores or those looking to gain extra points... who isn't.
