AccessSurgery is the first online resource for surgeons organized by key topics to reflect the Accreditation College for Graduate Medical Education’s (ACGME) mandate for a general surgery core curriculum.
AccessSurgery also helps address two of the ACGME’s core competencies of medical knowledge and practice-based learning and improvement. McGraw-Hill claims that, with over 1,400 board review questions and answers and the ability to track and report scores, AccessSurgery is ideal for residents studying for the American Board of Surgery In-Training Examination (ABSITE) as well as for practicing surgeons seeking recertification.
To use the resource, surgeons select a core curriculum topic or choose a procedure/operation to find relevant content from more than 12,000 pages of McGraw-Hill surgery references.
AccessSurgery complements these surgical references with an integrated library of multimedia instructional materials, such as narrated, chapterized surgical videos from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, and surgical animations adapted from Zollinger’s Atlas of Surgical Operations. Surgeons can tailor their searches to find just videos or images, or they can search the full site.
AccessSurgery will deliver text updates, editor’s journal reviews and video podcasts that highlight key surgical techniques, as well as a comprehensive drug database updated in real-time, and one-click access to related government guidelines.
AccessSurgery is the first in a series of specialty-focused sites that build upon the success of AccessMedicine, an online service that provides access to numerous medical references for general practitioners and medical students.
