The Osler Institute recorded our Live Virtual Webinar, the comprehensive July 2026 Surgery Review Course. These Video files are stored “in the cloud,” so you can stream them anywhere, anytime. You only need an internet connection.
You can watch or listen to them on your phone, computer, or tablet.
Additionally, each online review is a downloadable copy of the syllabus corresponding to the Video lectures. This is available for your use while viewing or as a standalone study or clinical practice guide.
This comprehensive review will update your clinical knowledge base and help you prepare for and pass the General Surgery ABS Qualifying exam and Continuous Certification (CC) exam. Emphasis is on evidence-based medicine and board-relevant standards of care. The course incorporates current best practice concepts, surgical approaches, and clinical follow-up strategies. As a result, it provides a comprehensive review for your ABS Qualifying exam. In addition, it offers a thorough review of general surgery for practicing physicians. Many previous learners have found the course provided them with improved diagnostic and planning strategies. They also reported a better understanding of the best surgical approaches for the principal areas covered by general surgeons. Finally, it helped them recognize areas of weakness for self-study.
Objectives
After this review, each participant will be able to:
Summarize the basic science fundamentals underlying patient management as applied to general surgery.
Describe preoperative, operative, and postoperative patient care in the principal component areas of general surgery: specific diseases of the head and neck, breast, skin and soft tissues, alimentary tract, abdomen, vascular system, endocrine system, comprehensive trauma management, emergency operations, and critical surgical care.
Discuss the principles of perioperative patient care in the surgical specialties of cardiothoracic surgery, pediatric surgery, and transplant surgery.
Summarize the clinical care of patients with common problems in urology, gynecology, orthopedics, and burns.
Demonstrate an understanding of tumor staging and describe the appropriate surgical and nonsurgical management required.
Discuss non-operative management options for general surgery patients who may not require surgical intervention (e.g., patients with pancreatitis, portal hypertension, immunosuppression, multiple traumas).
Outline the appropriate use of newer diagnostic and therapeutic methods, including laser-based applications; stereotactic breast biopsy; physiologic testing and evaluation of the GI tract; noninvasive vascular system diagnostic evaluation and invasive vascular interventional techniques; ultrasonography of the head and neck, breast, and abdomen; and endorectal ultrasound.

Guarantee
The Osler “Until You Pass” Guarantee
The Osler Institute is committed to providing high-quality education to our learners. We offer courses that are guaranteed to help them confidently pass their examinations. In the unlikely event that a learner does not pass their examination, we allow them to re-enroll in a course tuition-free* until they succeed. Suppose you have attended an Osler course or subscribed to an online review and failed the examination for which the course was designed within the following nine months. In that case, you can re-enroll in an Osler course or resubscribe to the same term online review until you pass. This offer is tuition-free, but a corresponding failed examination attempt must precede each free course.
Please be aware that the course registration fee does not cover hotel costs, meeting amenities, or any additional mock orals or study materials. If you want to enroll in a course under the guarantee, please make sure that you complete the enrollment process more than 30 days before the course start date. By doing so, you can avoid any late fees that may apply if you enroll after this time frame.
*Some restrictions apply: The course must be equal to or lesser value than the previous course. You may upgrade to a different course at a discounted rate. If the same course isn’t available, we offer a three-month subscription-based course in its place. Additional mock orals or a la carte course options are excluded from our guarantee option.
