Rosh Rapid Review: General Surgery Rotation Exam

Book excerpt: This is book 2 of 7 of the Rapid Review for the Rotation Exam series. Developed by the same Rosh Review team who brought you the popular Rosh Review Qbank. The Rapid Review for the General Surgery Rotation Exam details every national content blueprint topic into a "what you need to know" for your General Surgery Rotation Exam. This book provides a high-yield review of the pathophysiology, diagnosis, lab analysis, treatments and more. Includes beautifully designed color teaching images for visual learners. Organized so you can add your own notes. Easy to take with you to class, a cafe, or library. The content in the Rapid Review book series is different from the content in the Rosh Qbank. Nonetheless, the Rapid Review book series serves as a perfect companion to the Rosh Qbank. Learning and education is a dynamic process, one that is never ending. Once we commit to a life in medicine, we commit to a life of learning. The Rosh Rapid Review book series is best suited to serve as an adjunct to your medical education. It is not meant as a primary source, rather it should help you organize your thoughts and provide ancillary knowledge for a more robust education. We are counting on you to not just regurgitate facts, but rather, paraphrasing Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn, to learn how it all works. We are privileged to be in the role of caretaker and thus have a responsibility to our patients to be the most knowledgeable we can be. Use this book on your learning journey. At some point, you will grow out of it. But in the meantime, we hope the hard work by the dedicated Rosh Review team can play just a small role in helping you reach your goals and achieve your dreams.
