Don’t miss out on the topics shared above. You can also enroll in online surgery undergraduatecourses to get conceptual clarity over the subject and its high-yielding topics. SRB's surgery for undergraduates is a reliable resource for effectively studying surgery for NEET-PG 2023 with ease. Unquestionably, it is among the best video lectures for NEET-PG. A thorough course that serves all the needs of an undergraduate student’s academic. Surgery for UnderGrads is a course offered online by Dr. Sriram Bhat, who is well-known for his book "SRB's Manual of Surgery". He is one of the most illustrious authors and the greatest surgeon faculty who have devised and conducted this course.

For studying surgery, the main objective of SRB's surgery for undergraduates is to get students to stick with observation, develop the ability to make deductions, and use their knowledge in real-world situations. By focusing on the subject's foundational concepts, the course aids in laying a solid foundation. It is, therefore, among the greatest surgery courses available to medical students. The course is organized into three sections: general surgery; systemic and specialty surgery; and clinics in surgery, which include features of operational surgery as well as history-taking, physical examination, instruments, and investigations.

The emphasis has been on clinical examination and differential diagnosis throughout the entire course. This will aid in developing the student's critical thinking skills so they can effectively assess, diagnose, and handle the patients. To help students learn the art of examination and master how to arrive at a differential diagnosis, the faculty has conducted physical and clinical examination demonstrations. To provide the students with a thorough understanding of operational surgery, surgical anatomy has been covered along with the majority of the structures and systems.

To familiarize the students with practicals, a separate portion has been devoted to surgical instruments and X-rays. Additionally, they are a crucial component of the clinical tests and are used as a tool for last-minute review before the final clinical exams. Every topic has self-assessment questions for university examinations, PG entrance exams, and viva voce, along with theoretical aspects and practical points for surgical procedures. This online surgery course meets the educational demands of both medical undergraduate students and first-year postgraduate students.

Just bear in mind that surgery should be learned in a very structured manner and that the protocol for the procedure must be adhered to. For an improved knowledge, surgery can be combined with anatomy, radiology, and pathology. To familiarise yourself with the varieties of questions asked in the exams, solve MCQs and previous year's papers. And, you’re good to go!
