Cover-2-Cover Club 2007-2008 Schedule
Mission Statement:  
      The cover-to-cover club will be a resident-run program dedicated to reviewing all relevant topics within the discipline of general surgery.  We will cover one chapter of Sabiston or Cameron per week (approximately 30 pages/week) or biweekly for longer chapters.  A faculty mentor will be present at most sessions.  We will interactively review key topics in the chapters at the review session.  We will also review questions to provide preparation for the annual inservice exam and for the general surgery boards.  Above all, our main objective will be to provide an incentive to read and study in an organized and routine manner for the residents.
