Primary Care Dermatology Series - Dermatology Basics with Case Studies
Derm-Challenger identifies and describes the physiologic functions of the skin, the basic anatomy of the skin and its accessory structures, and the most important cell types of the skin and their functions. This knowledge provides the foundation for understanding anatomic and physiologic alterations that occur in skin diseases and enables the physician assistant to identify and diagnose over 80 common and not-so-common dermatological problems.
Derm-Challenger gives you immediate access to a large image library for use in differential diagnosis. In addition, there are 100 actual patient cases and 82 synopses of common dermatological conditions to stimulate your learning.
An easy-to-use interface is combined with immediate feedback and scoring to maximise your retention of the material and reinforce the vital knowledge you need to give the best possible care. Regular use of Derm-Challenger will increase your clinical confidence and hone your ability to accurately interpret dermatologic disorders.
