STUDY SURGERY, a guidance to pass the clinical board exam” is an organized
single reference that any surgical trainee needs to prepare for the clinical
board exam. It is a creative book that includes many mind maps and
illustrations to help understand and memorize information. It enhances the
knowledge and focuses on the required information in clinical exams. It
teaches the resident how to approach patients with common surgical complaints
and describes the management of common surgical disorders.
Moreover, it guides the surgical trainees through the preoperative preparation,
intraoperative steps of common operations, postoperative, follow-up,
and management of complications. While the presented information was
evidence-based and up to date, it was explained very simply. Helpful tools
like algorithms and illustrations are provided to help understand and clarify
any confusion that might be an area of misdiagnosis and mismanagement,
which I believe is where/why most candidates struggle during exams. It also
allows them to practice what they know using multiple case scenarios and
questions to discuss their answers. They can test their solutions using the
provided checklist. It empowers their knowledge and learns the common
exam tricks. It is not a boring book, as I know from my recent experience
preparing for the board exam how it feels when the trainees have to study;
however, their energy is consumed by the amount of information that needs
to be reviewed. So, I added many motivational and inspirational quotes said
by surgeons in the field and famous successful people that will help and keep
them motivated.
