The Osler Institute utilized state-of-the-art equipment to record our Live Virtual February 2025 comprehensive Colorectal Surgery Review Course and bring it to you! These Video files are stored “in the cloud,” so you can stream them anywhere, anytime, as long as you have an internet connection. You can watch or listen to them on your phone, computer, or tablet. Additionally, each online review is a downloadable copy of the syllabus corresponding to the Video lectures, available for your viewing or as a standalone study or clinical practice guide.
The Colorectal Surgery Subscription-Based Review is designed to help you pass your exams and update your clinical knowledge base. Emphasis is on evidence-based medicine and board-relevant standards of care, current best practices concepts, testing and treatment approaches, and clinical follow-up strategies. As a result, the course provides the perfect review for your Colorectal Surgery exams and offers valuable insights and practical tips that you can immediately incorporate into your practice. Many of our previous learners found that the review provided them with improved diagnostic and planning strategies, a better understanding of the best surgical approaches for the principal areas covered by colorectal surgeons, and helped them recognize areas of weakness for further study.

Guarantee
The Osler “Until You Pass” Guarantee
The Osler Institute is committed to providing high-quality education to our learners. We offer courses that are guaranteed to help them confidently pass their examinations. In the unlikely event that a learner does not pass their examination, we allow them to re-enroll in a course tuition-free* until they succeed. Suppose you have attended an Osler course or subscribed to an online review and failed the examination for which the course was designed within the following nine months. In that case, you can re-enroll in an Osler course or resubscribe to the same term online review until you pass. This offer is tuition-free, but a corresponding failed examination attempt must precede each free course.
Please be aware that the course registration fee does not cover hotel costs, meeting amenities, or any additional mock orals or study materials. If you want to enroll in a course under the guarantee, please make sure that you complete the enrollment process more than 30 days before the course start date. By doing so, you can avoid any late fees that may apply if you enroll after this time frame.
*Some restrictions apply: The course must be equal to or lesser value than the previous course. You may upgrade to a different course at a discounted rate. If the same course isn’t available, we offer a three-month subscription-based course in its place. Additional mock orals or a la carte course options are excluded from our guarantee option.
