Board prep built by the people who understand the exam.
Incise was created by plastic surgery residents who were frustrated with generic question banks that didn't speak our language.
Why we built Incise.
When we started studying for our PSITE and written boards, we found the same problem every plastic surgery resident faces: there's no dedicated question bank for our specialty. We were stuck using general surgery resources that barely covered flap physiology, microsurgery, or craniofacial — the topics that make up the majority of our exam.
So we built our own. We started writing questions between cases, during post-call mornings, and on weekends. We asked attendings to review them. We cited textbooks and primary literature. We validated every question against clinical guidelines.
What started as a shared Google Doc became a validated, adaptive question bank that covers every American Board of Plastic Surgery content domain and topics tested on the Plastic Surgery In-Service Exam. Incise is what we wished existed when we were studying — and now it does.
What we believe.
Every question is validated.
Our 5-stage validation pipeline catches errors that peer review alone misses. Questions are checked against literature, blinded re-derived, scored on 12 dimensions, and revised before reaching students.
Built exclusively for plastic surgery.
We don't adapt general surgery questions and relabel them. Every question is written by plastic surgeons for the American Board of Plastic Surgery exam blueprint. The depth matches what your boards actually test.
Fits between cases.
We know your schedule. Incise is built for 10-minute sessions in the call room, not 4-hour study marathons. The adaptive engine makes every minute count.
Updated every year.
Questions are revised annually to reflect the latest American Board of Plastic Surgery guideline revisions, updated literature, and evolving surgical techniques. Your question bank stays current.
