Book description
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.
Dermatology at a Glance:
- Is comprehensively illustrated throughout with over 300 high
quality colour slides and photographs
- Covers the key aspects of the British Association of
Dermatologists core curriculum
- Includes 'Key points' and 'Warnings'
- Features a self-assessment 'picture quiz' to help test learning
and recognition, in preparation for dermatology tests
- Includes a companion website at www.
ataglanceseries. com/dermatology featuring self-assessment
case studies, key point revision documents, and an image bank from
the book.
The descriptive diagrams and photographs, coupled with clear
explanations, will help all medical students and health professionals
get to grips with the identification and treatment of all of the most
common skin diseases.
