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: "Know and care" corresponds to common diseases that the General Practitioner (GP) must be able to diagnose and to treat. Level B: "Know and care with guidance" 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: "Know and refer" 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.
