Hi all,

I apologize if this is a dumb question.

I am a Canadian medical student just starting clerkship. I am on week 3 of 12 of my surgery rotation. A portion of my grade (25%) will be based on an american board exam on surgery (this is the 2nd year my school is doing this). Is this the surgery shelf exam? Is there a list of objectives that the shelf exam covers? Is it useful for me to pursue these objectives or are there other strategies that are better?

Thanks!
