Description

Highly Commended at the BMA Medical Book Awards 2014 Pre-publication review: This was the first decent book I've seen that adds good clinical advice on assessing and managing a dermatology patient.

It functions not only as a clinical reference, but as a genuine replacement for any missed experience on the dermatology ward. [ ] this will be a valuable text to clinical medical students seeking greater exposure.

One particular highlight is the clinical photos, very well done.

Dermatology Year 3 Registrar Following the familiar and easy-to-use at a Glance format, this brand new title provides a highly illustrated and accessible introduction to the structure and function of skin.

It is the ideal guide for any medical student required to interview and examine patients, identify skin diseases, and develop a differential diagnosis and a treatment plan.

Each chapter covers the epidemiology and pathogenesis of the disease, as well as presentations likely to be encountered in both clinical practice and exams.
