In addition to providing unparalleled, integrated content, AccessSurgery offers a range of special features designed to both assist resident education and support surgical practice.

  • Take a Board Review test from Surgery Review Illustrated and Schwartz's Principles of Surgery: Self-Assessment and Board Review, 8th Edition, then email the results.
  • Look up a symptom or disease in our Differential Diagnosis (DDx) tool.
  • Discover related Government Guidelines by clicking a pre-populated search box.
  • Launch a Customized Search for just videos, just images, or view full-site results.
  • Integrated drug database providing critical information on medication indications, dosages, contraindications, and drug classes.

Through the ability to report self-assessment results, AccessSurgery also helps surgical programs address two of the ACGME Core Competencies--medical knowledge and practice-based learning and improvement.

Each month, new surgical videos from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine are posted to the site. These high-quality, narrated operations are chapterized to enable quick access to the most relevant section of the surgery. Or watch an entire operation, skin-to-skin, for information about port placement, incisions, and closings, as well as the nuances of the operation itself.

The editorial team of Schwartz's Principles of Surgery provides monthly Text Updates on key topics. Spearheaded by Dr. Seymour Schwartz, founding editor, the Editor's Journal Review offers original analyses of recent journal articles.
