katelynspad Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Hello! I am currently a new dermatology PA in a 6 month “training program” before I start seeing my own patients. We have assigned readings in Andrews Dermatology textbook (which being new to dermatology I’ve heard is one of the BIBLES). Unfortunately though I am having an extremely hard time reading it being a beginner. It is extremely wordy for my liking, I’ve read it’s written as a “masters style” text. We do have quizzes based on the Andrews readings, however, I am looking for a text similar that is much easier to follow. Any help would be appreciated here. Thoughts of bolongia???? thank you!

brooks23 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Clinical Dermatology: A Color Guide to Diagnosis and Therapy is what my trainer uses and it's very concise, clear, and covers the most common diseases without being too wordy. There's also a really good text covering procedures which I love. It's called Dermatologic and Cosmetic Procedures in Office Practice. Good luck.

qcheedude86 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Clinical Dermatology by Thomas Habif is a pretty good resource I refer from time to time when I see uncommon cases. I found Andrews way too wordy (although I do agree it is a great resource). Habif breaks down dx and tx. Also consider Fitzpatrick's color Atlas and Synopsis of Clinical Dermatology (there us a smaller version of the book). Both great resources. Best of luck and welcome to Derm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
