Surgery
Description
Reviews / Votes
"The book is intended to 'help you make a great impression on your surgery clerkship and to help you prepare for the shelf examinations.' . This will be most useful for students and junior residents. Attending faculty may find it of value as a source of ideas for questions to ask during rounds! . This is an excellent value for the price. It far surpasses standard pearl books. " (Carol Scott-Conner, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2015)
