This is a short, thorough study guide for the American Board of Surgery In-Training Examination (ABSITE), which residents
in general surgery must take each year and residents going into surgical subspecialties must take during the year of their general surgery training. Information is presented in outline format to facilitate
quick look-up. Every component of the exam is covered-basic science and clinical knowledge in all areas tested. The book covers the latest diagnostic and therapeutic material to be incorporated into the exam-as determined by residents who have just taken it.
this is an excellent concise review of high yeild information. although nothing is a subsitute for regular reading of a surgical text, this is as
close as it comes if you are preparing for the absite.… It's a great review book, not for basic knowledge though, you must have read the material elsewhere, this is just a nice one week crash review book.
