Research and Markets: The New York General Surgery Board Review - a Comprehensive and Intensive Case-Based Review

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/106ab3/the_new_york_gener) has announced the addition of the "The New York General Surgery Board Review" report to their offering.

The New York General Surgery Board Review course is a comprehensive and intensive case-based review that is designed to help candidates complete preparation for the American Board of Surgery Qualifying, Certifying and Recertification Examinations. It also prepares surgical residents for the senior level ABSITE Examinations.

The curriculum is designed to match the subject matter of the specialty board requirements, including current standards of care. The program is a useful tool in aiding practitioners who now are evaluated through the American Board of Medical Specialties' Maintenance of Certification process. Board-certified physicians must build six core competencies to qualify for quality patient care within their medical specialty: appropriate patient care, application of medical knowledge, interpersonal and communication skills, professionalism, systems based practice for optimal care, and practice-based learning and improvement.

The program combines didactic lectures, cased-based presentations, question and- answer sessions, and meet-the-professor discussions, providing a comprehensive review of the practice of general surgery. An illustrative and complete syllabus reinforces your learning and a review book further aids candidates in preparation for examinations.
