This 4th edition of The ABSITE Review is the perfect study guide for surgery residents preparing for the American Board of Surgery In-Training Examination (ABSITE). Unlike ordinary textbooks that force the reader to wade through paragraph after paragraph of extraneous material, this review manual uses a streamlined outline and list format. By making it easier to find the essential points on each topic, this study guide allows the reader to spend more time studying the important facts and less time searching for them. Even though the information is presented in a simple manner, it still includes all topics found on the exam — from basic science to clinical knowledge in general surgery as well as surgical subspecialties. Each year, thousands of general surgery residents express anxiety over preparation for the ABSITE. With this book as their guide, they can feel a lot more confident.

FEATURES:

• Tables and algorithms are condensed to relevant outlines, improving efficiency of reading time

• Most recent ABSITE exam material

• Covers all topics on ABSITE and can be used independently of other study materials

• Bold type that highlights important information

Why I'm reviewing: The ABSITE Review was my bible throughout residency, and I thank Fiser. I scored >90% on the ABSITE in all but one year, and I just passed the real board exam. That's not bragging, that's credentialing.

Also why I'm reviewing: this edition is almost exactly the same book as the past two editions.

Fiser's ABSITE Review is the single best book for studying for the ABSITE. I've read it since it's first edition when I was a 4th year med student. I upgraded to the second edition, skipped the 3rd after seeing few changes, and only got the 4th to get it on my Kindle and to study for the real board exam.

This book has hardly changed since the 2nd edition.

In many ways, it's a compliment to Fiser he wrote such a strong initial review book. But now the publishers are targeting anxious residents by rolling out a 2010 car and simply relabeling it a 2014 with the new car price.

So if you can buy a 3rd or even a 2nd edition cheaply, go for it. Study it hard, daily, and well. It's akin to an athlete's daily workout. Augment it with clinical experience, a good clinical text (Cameron's or ACS Surgery), and UpToDate if you have it or eMedicine if you don't. The ABSITE Review covers all the basic sciences, stats, and pharmacology any clinically oriented resident can tolerate.

If you want to upgrade your 2nd or 3rd edition, fact check it with UpToDate or get Fiser's comprehensive ABSITE review (Fiser, Comprehensive Absite Review). The latter really does pack more info, and some of it is both testable and clinically relevant.
