Synopsis: This revised and updated practical textbook is derived from notes taken during dermatology residency and represents a comprehensive yet condensed approach to the dermatology curriculum, listing every entity with only the most important and testable facts and mnemonics. There is often an intimidating 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. Furthermore, introductions to the dermatology physical exam and dermatopathology, as well as short guides describing the basics of medications, basic science, cosmetics and surgery are included. The goal of Dermatology Simplified is not to help with visual identification of diagnoses, but rather to help young dermatologists learn to create differential diagnoses and memorize all the important facts for myriad diseases. Given its unique approach, this guide will serve new residents well in quickly adapting to their new field, while also helping senior residents as a quick review of all topics in preparation for the in-service and board examinations (reflecting the priorities of the new CORE exams). This book is therefore an important resource for all dermatology students, residents, other trainees on dermatology rotations, and faculty.
