The New York General Surgery Board Review
Oakstone Medical Publishing
|
|
The New York General Surgery Board Review course is a comprehensive and
intensive case-based review that is designed to help candidates complete
preparation for the American Board of Surgery Qualifying, Certifying and
Recertification Examinations. It also prepares surgical residents for the senior
level ABSITE Examinations.
The curriculum is designed to match the subject matter of the specialty board
requirements, including current standards of care. The program is a useful tool
in aiding practitioners who now are evaluated through the American Board of
Medical Specialties’ Maintenance of Certification process. Board-certified
physicians must build six core competencies to qualify for quality patient care
within their medical specialty: appropriate patient care, application of medical
knowledge, interpersonal and communication skills, professionalism, systemsbased
practice for optimal care, and practice-based learning and improvement.
The program combines didactic lectures, cased-based presentations, questionand-
answer sessions, and meet-the-professor discussions, providing a
comprehensive review of the practice of general surgery. An illustrative and
complete syllabus reinforces your learning and a review book further aids
candidates in preparation for examinations.
