Inside the prep
SESAP 19 core modules
Nine areas, from abdomen and breast to perioperative care, surgical critical care and legal, ethics, quality and safety, give 640 newly written cases that mirror the problems a practising general surgeon meets.
SESAP 19 Advanced
Six modules build on the core content with nuanced cases in abdomen and alimentary tract, breast, endocrine, melanoma and sarcoma, critical care, and trauma with emergency general surgery.
Controversies and critiques
Each Advanced module finishes with cases where more than one approach is defensible, and the critique sets out the evidence behind each option rather than forcing a single dogma.

Before you buy
How many Advanced questions are there, 329 or 310?
Both figures are quoted for SESAP 19 Advanced; expect roughly 310–329 questions, giving about 950–970 in total with the 640 core items.
Is this the interactive SESAP platform?
No. These are PDF exports for offline reading, so online scoring, progress tracking, embedded videos and live PubMed links will not work as they do on the official platform.
Do the pages carry a watermark?
Yes. The PDFs and images carry a permanent watermark from the previous distributor, and it cannot be removed.
Is this an official ACS product?
No. SESAP is published by the American College of Surgeons; Clinicapedia is independent, and no endorsement is implied.
Do I get CME credit or a certificate?
No. Clinicapedia provides the educational content only — no CME or CE credits, MOC points or certificates of completion are included with this product.
