The ABSITE Blueprints

The book "Master the Boards: ABSITE and Beyond" was created due to the lack of a comprehensive and up-to-date ABSITE review book for general surgery residents. It offers a structured and concise approach to studying for the exam, covering the most important information from each specialty on the SCORE® curriculum. Each chapter is reviewed and authored by experts in their respective fields, compiling the experience of many authorities into one resource.

The idea for this book originated from the experience of one of the editors, Dr. Hana Ajouz, who encountered numerous general surgery residents who were in search of a reliable ABSITE review book to aid their studies. However, none of the available books met their criteria for being comprehensive, up-to-date, and easily accessible. Recognizing the significant demand for such a resource, Dr. Ajouz and her team set out to create a book that would cater to the needs of surgical residents.

The book's intentional structure is straightforward yet effective. It aims to capture the most pertinent information for each specialty covered in the SCORE® curriculum, which is frequently asked on the ABSITE exam. The information is presented to the reader in a concise and simplified format, using charts, tables, and bullet points to make it easily digestible.

In addition to its study-friendly structure, this review book encompasses key operative steps of wider general surgery procedures, which are often overlooked in other review books. This comprehensive approach ensures that general surgery residents have a thorough understanding of the various aspects of the field.

What sets this book apart is its collaborative approach. Each chapter is reviewed or authored by someone with expertise in their respective specialty. This collective effort brings together the experience of many authorities, compiling their knowledge into one resource that helps general surgery residents stay up-to-date with the most recent and important concepts in the field.

By providing a comprehensive yet concise review of the SCORE® curriculum and incorporating key operative steps, this book serves as an invaluable tool for general surgery residents preparing for the ABSITE exam. It is a valuable resource that will help them succeed in their academic and professional endeavors.
