Fitzpatrick’sDermatologyFlashcards

Full-color flashcards derived from the field's most popular text

Derived from Fitzpatrick's Color Atlas and Synopsis of Clinical Dermatology, these flashcards represent 150 of the most commonly seen dermatologic problems and 100 rare or challenging cases. Each image includes diagnosis, clinical manifestation, differential diagnosis, diagnosis, and management.

The content of these cards is very good. The formatting of the Kindle edition is terrible. It needs to be formatted so that you're looking sequentially at the "front" of one card and then the "back" of the next card on the next Kindle page/screen. As it's formatted now, there's no separation between flashcards, so the "back" of the previous card often shows up on the same screen view as the "front" of the next card. This is very confusing for studying. The Lange Histology flash cards are formatted perfectly; these dermatology flash cards should be formatted exactly the same.

Dermoscopy An Illustrated Self-Assessment Guide

This is a useful tool for any healthcare provider interested in dermatology, whether a new resident just starting to study skin disease or a seasoned practitioner wishing to learn a new skill....What is especially helpful is the labeling of the dermoscopic photo, making it easier to learn the various criteria and structures. Moreover, each case has a diagnostic pearls section that adds much didactic value....What is most unique and valuable is that readers are not just passively reading about a subject, but are drawn to actively participate and make decisions. When they turn the page, they can then contemplate the explanations and determine areas where they need improvement. The only thing that would top this book would be to have one of the authors alongside the reader at the bedside examining a patient.
