This pocket guide for practicing and prospective dermatologists, as well as specialists in other fields who have dermatology questions, is based on the in-house resident handbook that was successfully used at Washington University School of Medicine for five years. Written and edited by former residents and attending physicians, it consolidates need-to-know information for daily patient care in one convenient source.
In this new edition, the authors have updated and also reorganized their material to make searching even quicker in the three main areas:
- General dermatology
- Surgery
- Therapeutics
Drawing on their personal experience, the authors provide up-to-date, comprehensive yet concise information in outline, bullet-point, and table formats for fast retrieval. They include the information which they found themselves most often looking up, which their attending most frequently quizzed them on, and which were emphasized on the dermatology board exam.
The manual consolidates the dermatologic algorithms, protocols, guidelines, and staging and scoring systems which are most essential in clinical practice, and covers the diseases most frequently encountered in the clinic, when on call, and in exams. Carry Handbook of Dermatology: A Practical Manual with you for frequent consultation and better patient care.
