Just curious as to what are the Top 2-3 "Essential" books needed for my surgery rotation to do well on the shelf exam. I'm all about review books and am wondering which to purchase. I've been doing a little research and seems people have a lot of good things to say about NMS Casebook and Surgical Recall, granted these posts were from 2005.
What do I need to purchase in order to do well on the Shelf Exam is my main question? Do you need to buy a surgical textbook?
Any help/advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance🙂
