DESCRIPTION:
Great book that saved me on the surgery shelf Med_Path Highly recommend this little book. This was the only guide I used to study for the surgery shelf exam - I read the entire book and did all the questions in the back - and I got a 91% in the nation on the test. I did not use any other study materials. Highly recommended!. Excellent rapid review, not primary resource Marcus Callister Do not use this book as your primary study source for the surgery shelf exam, it's too condensed, go for deVirgilio instead. Instead, read/skim this book at the start of your clerkship, and then read it through once or twice near the end of your clerkship and do the questions. It serves as a great refresher, pulls major points together, and fills in a few important points you may have missed.Shout out to whoever designed the question links in the ebook: the answer key has links directly to the corresponding explanation in the text. But one warning: in the Amazon online reader, the questions aren't numbered, they're only numbered in. "All you need" according to missy. This is all you need to do well on the shelf exam. I usually averaged around 79 or 80 on shelfs- nothing special. But surgery was my second highest score- I got an 86. All I did was read this book twice (it's short so you better be able to pretty much recite it) and did the 100-150 or so UWorld questions for surgery. And of course pay attention on rotation. But I didn't like start studying from the beginning of the rotation or anything like that. I'm just a middle of the road medical student. Excellent book
