Dermatology Cyberderm WebBook

Dermato-Venereology is an obligatory inbuilt discipline in medical undergraduate curricula worldwide, and 20-25% of patients in the office of a general practitioner relate to dermatologic problems. Nevertheless, only 2% of medical students will specialize in dermatology: it is thus of primary importance to give medical students a solid training in dermatology during medical undergraduate studies. The Dermatology Cyberderm WebBook will be a valued pillar of knowledge before and after the examination (postgraduate) once established in their medical profession. This handy paperback work presents contents in an easy-to read, brief and didactic style, with all typical clinical pictures, and complemented with flashcards for memorizing. Topics follow the official international catalogues of learning objectives, and the ICD-11 (International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision), fundamental orientation tool for the undergraduate student as well as for the postgraduate physician in his/her daily practice. Each chapter shows the Level/Grading of importance (A, B, and C) of the topic, to help students planning what is needed for their exams. Level A: "e;Know and care"e; corresponds to common diseases that the General Practitioner (GP) must be able to diagnose and to treat. Level B: "e;Know and care with guidance"e; corresponds to diseases which should be referred to the dermatologist, but still within the capacity of the GP to evaluate the emergency and to make the first intervention/management step. The GP must be guided to follow the patient in cooperation with the Dermato-Venereologist. Level C: "e;Know and refer"e; corresponds to diseases which the GP must know just enough to recognize and understand and to refer to the Dermato-Venereologist. The Dermatology Cyberderm WebBook delivers all complete important information in a compact and concise style. The book is handy, richly illustrated for easy consultation, and will be the choice go-to resource for undergraduate students, as well as for postgraduate physicians in their daily routine work.
