Kozol: Surgery Mentor: Your Clerkship and Shelf Exam Companion 2nd Edition with CD-ROM

It has been 9 years since the publication of Surgical Pearls, and much has changed during the interval. Advances in minimally invasive surgery have allowed greater application of these techniques. The resolution of new generation CT scanners and ultrasound has improved greatly. These improvements in imaging have altered the diagnostic approach to several abdominal conditions. The electronic medical record has improved efficiency for many practitioners. While technology has marched on, some things stay the same. For the medical student, the Surgery rotation remains a challenge. The student must still adapt to the “team approach” on Surgery and to the operating room culture. Senior students and junior residents are expected to accommodate a breadth of knowledge concerning a wide spectrum of diseases.

Surgery Mentor will serve as a rapid source of organized information in Surgery. Market research has revealed that today’s student and resident prefer lists, outlines, and algorithms over prose. Surgery Mentor is therefore organized in outline form. Important facts are highlighted in each chapter, and each chapter is accompanied by practice questions. Surgery Mentor will prepare students and junior residents for conferences, rounds, and examinations.
