The New York General Surgery Board Review Course is a comprehensive and intensive case-based review designed to help candidates complete preparation for the American Board of Surgery qualification certification and recertification examinations. The course will also prepare surgical residents for the senior level ABSITE examinations. The program curriculum is designed to match the requirements of the American Board of Surgery including current standards of care, as well as to prepare surgeons to understand and to respond the six competencies: medical knowledge, patient care, communication skills, practice-based learning, systems-based practice, and professionalism. In addition to discussing the six competencies, the course focuses on ethical and legal issues such as do-not-resuscitate orders, operative consent problems, end-of-life and other ethical issues which have been subjects of recent questions. The expert faculty comprehensively updates the current state of the art in their respective fields.

The program combines didactic lectures, case-based presentations, question-and-answer sessions and meet-the-professor discussions. This provides a comprehensive review of the practice of general surgery. An illustrative and complete syllabus reinforces the participant’s learning and further will aid candidates in preparation for their examinations.
A mock oral exam will help prepare attendees for the oral examination portion of the certification process. For physicians not actively preparing for examination, the course provides a broad review of the current practice of general surgery.
The exclusive collection of Surgical Pearls is not offered at any other surgery conference and is not available in stores. You can
refer to this bank of Surgical Pearls again and again as the exam date
nears.
The course faculty is from the major medical centers of the New York Metropolitan Area.
