The General Surgery Brief
The General Surgery Brief is a high-yield podcast dedicated to sharpening your knowledge for the ABSITE and general surgery written boards. Each episode features board-style practice questions with in-depth explanations that cover not just the correct answer, but the reasoning behind it—plus high-yield pearls, common pitfalls, and related concepts the exam loves to test. From surgical anatomy and perioperative care to trauma, critical care, and subspecialty topics, we break down the facts you need to know in a clear, concise, and memorable way—so you’re not just memorizing, you’re mastering. Geared toward surgical interns, residents, and anyone preparing for high-stakes general surgery exams, The General Surgery Brief helps you stay sharp, confident, and exam-ready. Created by Mustafa Farooq, MD, PGY-1 preliminary resident at the Medical College of Georgia and applicant to the 2026 General Surgery Match.
