This book is derived from notes taken during a dermatology residency and it represents a
comprehensive yet condensed approach to a dermatology curriculum listing every entity with
only the most important and testable facts and mnemonics. There is an intimidating large amount
of material for young dermatologists and other doctors with an interest in dermatology to learn
and this guide puts it all into a concise and manageable context. Further introductions to the
dermatology physical exam and dermatopathology as well short guides describing the basics of
medications basic science cosmetics and surgery are included. The goal of this guide is not
primarily to help with visual identification of diagnoses but rather to help young
dermatologists learn to create differential diagnoses and learn all the important facts for
myriad diseases. Given its unique approach this guide will serve new residents well in quickly
adapting to a new field and also it will serve senior residents as quick review of all topics
in preparation for in service and board examinations. In general there are very few
dermatology board review books of any kind and therefore this book will immediately have a
market among dermatology students residents rotators and faculty.
