The new edition of the Surgical Education and Self-Assessment Program (SESAP®), a premier educational resource promoting excellence and expertise for practicing surgeons and surgical residents, is now available for purchase.
For the first time, SESAP 19 and SESAP 19 Advanced debuted together rather than in sequential years.
This latest edition is highly interactive and offers all new content, developed and rigorously peer-reviewed by 57 ACS Fellows. It is presented in a convenient online platform designed for self-directed learning and mastery.
SESAP 19 includes 640 case scenarios covering nine modules of general surgery with multiple-choice questions that include explanations of why each answer is correct or incorrect, along with references and links to PubMed abstracts.
Topic areas include:
SESAP 19 Advanced offers 329 additional questions exploring more nuanced and specialized topics. Hundreds of embedded media enrich self-study.
Back by popular demand, “Controversial Items” are included for each module in SESAP 19 Advanced. These items address questions where practice recommendations are ambiguous. Instead of a single correct answer, the pros and cons of the options are presented in the critique.
Flexible packages and personalized features make staying up-to-date easier than ever. Surgeons can select from 15 new modules or purchase all modules together for 50% savings.
With SESAP Small Bites, surgeons can set topic areas and choose to receive links to SESAP 19 and SESAP 19 Advanced questions every 1 or 2 weeks. Peer comparisons for each answer option allow surgeons to see how others have responded in real time. Numerous other features, including highlighting, bookmarks, a flashcard tool, and custom quizzes, allow participants to enhance and reinforce learning. Additionally, Residents can send Progress Reports directly from SESAP to program directors.
Participants can earn up to 160 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ with SESAP 19, and SESAP 19 Advanced offers an additional 104 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.
