The General Surgery Qualifying Review is a five-day seminar with didactic lectures and question-and-answer time at the end of each topic. This comprehensive review will update your clinical knowledge base and help you pass your General Surgery exams. Emphasis is on evidence-based medicine and board-relevant standards of care, incorporating current best practice concepts, surgical approaches, and clinical follow-up strategies. As a result, it provides a comprehensive review of your ABS Qualifying exams and a thorough general surgery review for practicing physicians. Many of our previous participants found the course improved their diagnostic and planning strategies and provided a better understanding of the best surgical approaches for the principal areas covered by general surgeons. They helped them recognize areas of weakness for self-study.
The webinar will be delivered using Zoom Cloud Meetings, allowing audio and visual interaction between you and the faculty. It is best to have a computer with a strong internet connection to participate in the webinar. With this online webinar course, you get the best of both worlds – the comfort and safety of your home or office and the chance to learn from the Osler Faculty and your peers. In addition, all participants will receive complimentary streaming access to a course recording.
