Review

STUDENT QUOTES

"The important details are highlighted, preventing the reader from getting bogged down in boring, unimportant text."

"I thought it was an outstanding overview of difficult material".

From the Back Cover

This book is one of five in the Blueprints Series. This title presents the principles of Surgery in a succinct format that complements the structure of the USMLE Step 2 exam. It can be used as a stand–alone text for the Surgery clinical rotation, or in conjunction with other titles in the series for a comprehensive review for the USMLE Step 2 & 3 exams. The second edition of this book will include 125 clinical vignette style questions at the end of the book.

The series format is consistent for all five titles; each title presents short expositions on one of the five key clinical topics.
