Description

Designation: The Osler Institute designates this Live activity for a maximum of 50 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™.  Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with their participation in the activity.

The General Surgery Qualifying Review is a five-day seminar consisting of didactic lectures, Questions and Answers time at the end of each topic.  This comprehensive review will update your clinical knowledge base and help you pass your General Surgery exams.  Emphasis is on evidence-based medicine and board-relevant standards of care, incorporating current best practice concepts, surgical approaches, and clinical follow-up strategies.  As a result, it provides a good review for your ABS Qualifying exams and a thorough general surgery review for physicians in practice.  Many of our previous participants found the course provided them with improved diagnostic and planning strategies and a better understanding of the best surgical approaches for the principal areas covered by general surgeons.  They helped them recognize areas of weakness for self-study.

The webinar will be delivered using Zoom Cloud Meetings, allowing audio and visual interaction between you and the faculty.  It would be best to have a computer with a good internet connection to participate in the webinar.  With this online webinar course, you get the best of both worlds – the comfort and safety of your home or office and the chance to learn from the Osler Faculty and your peers.  In addition, all participants will receive complimentary streaming access to a course recording.
