Written by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine faculty and surgical residents at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, this comprehensive manual covers all aspects of the ABSITE. This innovative text is broken up into two sections. The first section features a full-length practice test based on actual key words from recent ABSITE exams, along with perforated answer sheets to simulate the real exam. The second section reviews all practice test questions and answers, providing rationales behind surgical decision-making, in sections divided per the ABSITE score report. This text is not only helpful in preparation for the ABSITE, but also for senior residents studying for the general surgery qualifying exam, and for all surgical residents seeking to review key topics while on specific surgical rotations. It also features a companion Website that will offer an online test bank.
