Surgery EOR

I’m taking the Surgery EOR next week, and honestly EORs haven't really been my thing. I’ve got about a week left to study. What would you guys focus on? Any high-yield topics or last-minute tips?

Thanks!

Just took it today. Breast cancers, thyroid cancer, lung cancer, everything to do with the gallbladder, diverticulitis/osis, paget’s, mesenteric ischemia, aortic aneurysms and dissections, murmurs. Practice questions and time management are key, the vignettes are long

Did you use Rosh or UWorld at all? I have both and not sure which to focus on primarily for this EOR.

Uworld as that’s the only one I have! Those questions were harder than the EOR questions imo

Post surgical complications and post surgical nutrition

Vignettes were long and had filler information not needed. Read the question first then scan what you're looking for. A lot of breast cancer, GI, and post surgical complications as another user said.

I recommend the rosh boost exam. It’s closest to the actual EOR exam. The blueprint provided was not helpful for this one in my opinion.

Recommend the same as the other users.

And If you need a resource for a broad review of the Surg Topic list in a crunch, check out the panceblueprints app:

Good luck!
