Step-Up to Surgery (Step-Up Series)

This new addition to the Step-Up Series is a high-yield study aid for surgery clerkships and USMLE Step 2 and an excellent reference for common questions arising during rotations or in the operating room. The book covers all the major topics on the surgery rotation and additional high-yield topics for USMLE Step 2. The user-friendly, highly visual format features over 150 illustrations and numerous tables. "Quick Hit" margin notes highlight important facts likely to be tested. Over 120 "Next Step Questions" and "Shelf Questions" provide excellent opportunity for review

‘Step-Up to Surgery’ – sadly, this title is completely not up to par with ‘Step-Up to Medicine’. It’s dry monotonous style is difficult to read and memorize; besides, it badly lacks the depth and details you really need to know for clerkship, as well as for the USMLE Step 2 CK; Illustrations are also very scanty and they mostly depict anatomy and surgical operations instead of radiology. This book has two appendices: ‘Next Step Questions’ and ‘Shelf Questions’. The first one is case-based, though – not in the boards-format. The second one does contain MCQs, but many of them aren’t case-based; both this sections are too brief.
