Synopsis

Part of the Blueprints series, Blueprints Surgery provides a concise review of what students need to know in their surgery rotations or the Boards. Each chapter is brief and includes pedagogical features such as bolded key words, tables, figures, and key points boxes. This edition has been thoroughly updated and significantly expanded, with more detail and depth of coverage, additional tables and figures, and case studies. A question-and-answer section at the end of the book includes 100 board-format questions with complete rationales for each answer choice.

A companion website includes a question bank containing an additional 50 questions and fully searchable text.

About this title

From the Back Cover

This book is one of five in the Blueprints Series. This title presents the principles of Surgery in a succinct format that complements the structure of the USMLE Step 2 exam. It can be used as a stand-alone text for the Surgery clinical rotation, or in conjunction with other titles in the series for a comprehensive review for the USMLE Step 2 & 3 exams. The second edition of this book will include 125 clinical vignette style questions at the end of the book.

The series format is consistent for all five titles; each title presents short expositions on one of the five key clinical topics.
