It’s with great sadness that we inform you that our beloved Dr. Schwartz has died peacefully. He’s an inspiration & mentor to us all who will be remembered for his towering intellect, collegiality, indefatigable work ethic, unending curiosity, & enduring relevance. #MedTwitter

This is beyond frustrating for us and more importantly, our families. I basically took a really expensive Qbank yesterday. @TrueLearnLLC gave me the better deal. Forget QE, the 1st time pass rate was 97% and 96% last 2 years. You can nail us on orals.
The Surgery Qualifying Exam of the American Board of Surgery has been cancelled. We sincerely apologize to all candidates for this stressful and unsuccessful event.

Incoming gift from Seymore Schwartz 7 years ago, his textbook. And today, his most recent book. Amazing he still comes to work and teaches the med students and residents. Absolute inspiration. One of the perks of being a @URMCSurgery resident.

As an Asian person, before speaking up against racism, we must first acknowledge the deep-rooted anti-blackness in the Asian community. 1/7

As always devil will be in the details. lot of questions how this will work. Are we being provided video equipment? Whos responsible for technical issues? Why are we still paying $1350 if no test centers? and most importantly, do we need to wear pants??
For the the health and safety of all candidates and in order to accommodate ongoing social distancing guidelines, ABS will deliver the July 2020 #GeneralSurgery #QualifyingExam as a web-based, live-proctored, at-home examination - https://t.co/i9MP3b7Auf
