Doody's Review
"Scientific American set a new standard for health science publishers when it launched Care of the Surgical Patient in 1989."
"It was then and remains today a graphically rich resource for both surgeons and students. We are excited to draw on Scientific
American's content to enhance the editorial offering of the surgical database."
-- Brian Decker, CEO, Decker Intellectual Properties
"Sharing the wonders of science with lifelong learners is very much at the core of Scientific American's mission."
"We are excited to provide our award-winning content to aid students and surgeons through Scientific American Surgery."
-- Diane McGarvey, Associate Vice President, Business Development
"We are now basing the Johns Hopkins surgical residency curriculum on this publication, and I have purchased copies for all of the residents in my program!
Not only is ACS Surgery a practical and useful reference, but it is refreshing to use something that is so current! And with the authority of the College behind it, it can't be beat."
--Julie Freischlag, MD, FACS, Chair of Department of Surgery, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine
