HIGH-YIELD CONTENT

LASER-FOCUSED LECTURES: The Pass Machine General Surgery MOC board review course is comprised of 500+ short, easily-digestible lecture modules, each of which reflects exam topics mapped to the American Board of Surgery Recertification Exam blueprint. The modules are organized into lectures covering all related exam “keywords”. Thus, you effectively review every required exam topic and nothing else, acquiring increased mastery of the material in less time.

THE “QBL” METHOD: To ensure pinpoint exam relevancy, the lectures use a method called “Question-Based Learning.” Lectures are constructed from a series of board-style multiple choice questions, each coupled to a mini-lecture on that question’s topic.

BOARD-EXPERIENCED FACULTY: Lectures are presented by faculty experienced in teaching for board preparation. The two levels of medical editing ensure every lecture is up-to-date, medically accurate and 100% board-relevant.

GENERAL SURGERY MOC STUDY GUIDE: This course companion makes it easy to follow along with lectures, take notes, and study offline. The PDF includes the complete course syllabus, with all referenced slides, photos, illustrations, and infographics.
