With more complete, authoritative coverage of basic science, clinical practice of both adult and pediatric dermatology, dermatopathology, and dermatologic surgery than you'll find in any other source, Dermatology, 4th Edition, is the gold-standard reference in the field today. Drs. Jean L. Bolognia, Julie V. Schaffer, and Lorenzo Cerroni bring their considerable knowledge and experience to this two-volume masterwork, ensuring its reliability and usefulness for both residents and practitioners.
Dermatology's charts and cartoons of pathways and cytokines that in the first edition set a new standard, continue to impress. These cartoons and charts are available with the e-edition and are so well done and easy to download that residents use them to the exclusion of their own creations in their lectures. Dermatology solves the problem of graphic arrangement of dermatology knowledge and leaves the reader doubting that there would be any way to improve upon the tables other than adding new information as it is discovered.

The 159 chapters of the new Dermatology present a breathtaking amount of material. It is hard to find any entity that is not included or well discussed. That being said, I did look hard for some lacunae and I do note that in the index I did not find the entity termed "confluent and reticulated papillomatosis," often neglected in dermatology texts in general. Also in the discussion of the topical treatment of psoriasis I did not find mention of the new and expensive preparation of betamethasone and calcipotriene. Instead this combination medication finds a place in the discussion of topical preparations in chapter 129. In chapter 126, it might be useful to note that oral alitretinoin had been abandoned before 2008 as a treatment of Kaposi sarcoma and psoriasis, but is nearing approval for chronic hand dermatitis in the European Union.
To conclude, I am lucky to have Dermatology Second Edition on my shelf. For the dermatology resident who needs to master the minutiae of dermatology it is hard to beat. I am sorry that I don't have the e updates that are available on the web and continuously update the text. The second edition is better than the first edition. Perhaps its subtitle should be (modestly) "Three heroes successfully summarize dermatology."

Dermatology Online Journal is an open-access, refereed publication intended to meet reference and education needs of the international dermatology community\n since 1995. Dermatology Online Journal is supported by the Department of Dermatology UC\n Davis, and by the Northern California Veterans Administration.
Jean L. Bolognia, MD, fulfills an important role in educating dermatologists in all phases of their careers. The textbook Dermatology, for which she served as senior editor, is highly regarded as a comprehensive work covering the breadth of our field with outstanding illustrations, tables, and schematics that facilitate understanding for our visually geared specialty. When Dr. Bolognia visited the State University of New York at Stony Brook to speak at our Grand Rounds, I took the opportunity to glean valuable insights about the book as well as pearls for dermatology residents from an accomplished academic clinician.

"I love this book. If you are going to add one giant powerhouse dermatology reference to your library, this is the one to own.... It is a superb comprehensive book. It is well organized and well written. It is a color atlas, it is a treatment reference, it explains current disease mechanisms, it is a guide for clinical diagnosis. In short, it is everything!"
The classic adult learner prefers learning activities that are experience oriented, self-directed, immediately applicable, internally motivated, and problem-centered [5] . A study assessing learning styles among US dermatology residents showed that active learning styles were significantly favored over passive teacher oriented learning styles overall and among male and female residents separately [5] . A surgical skills workshop incorporates many of the traditional active learning styles preferred by dermatology residents. Surgical skills workshops certify the competency of the learner in a stress free simulation environment thereby increasing confidence, knowledge and surgical ability prior to exposure to patients [6] [7] . While many surgical skills workshops have been developed to facilitate learning technical skills and manual dexterity essential in becoming a surgeon, few have been created to teach planning and design of complex repairs of surgical defects. We created a novel teaching tool for learning about and planning flap and graft reconstruction that is easy to use and assemble, inexpensive, incorporates a low-stress learning environment, and utilizes active learning.
The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) is the accrediting body for US post graduate medical training programs, including dermatology programs. According to the ACGME, a dermatology residency program must provide a clinical experience with significant exposure to Mohs micrographic surgery, and wound reconstruction, including flaps and grafts. Residents must be able to competently perform all surgical procedures considered essential for the area of practice including closures of surgical defects with attention to the patient outcome. Residents must also demonstrate knowledge of proper techniques for repairs of cutaneous surgical defects using flaps and grafts [8] .
Since dermatology residents must demonstrate knowledge of proper techniques for repairs of cutaneous surgical defects using flaps and grafts prior to graduation, an interactive surgical workshop focusing on the planning of defect repairs using flap and graft reconstruction may be a beneficial addition to a surgical curriculum [8] . As dermatology residents tend to prefer active teaching styles, implementing active teaching styles will often lead to a more enjoyable educational experience [5] . We present the surgical flap and graft reconstruction workshop as a novel teaching tool for learning flaps and grafts that is easy to use and assemble, inexpensive, incorporates a low stress learning environment, and utilizes active learning. 2ff7e9595c
