The Essentials book, available in PDF form, has been written primarily for medical students, with constant attention to the thought, "Is this something a student should know when he or she finishes medical school?" It is not designed to be a comprehensive text, but rather an outline that can be read in the limited time available in a burgeoning curriculum. It is designed to be read from beginning to end. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons is proud to provide complimentary copies of the Plastic Surgery Essentials for Students handbook to all third year medical students in the United States and Canada.
*NOTE: This is not a physical book, but available as a downloadable or viewable PDF online.PDF Preview
