Riassunto

When patients present with skin conditions in your daily practice, have you ever wished you had a dermatologist looking over your shoulder? Or that you could confer with a dermatologist and get the latest information on techniques and approaches? How many times have you referred a patient to a specialist when treating the condition yourself would save time, money, and the effort of filling out paperwork? Now you can have all that and more. Dermatology for Clinicians: A Practical Guide to Common Skin Conditions contains detailed instructions that enable you to use comfortably the advanced approaches that dermatologists use.

The book describes each condition and discusses its treatment in a clear, simple, detailed, step-by-step fashion. The information is easy to find, easy to understand, and, ultimately, easy to employ. The author takes a pathology/disease-oriented approach to general dermatological problems. He presents both simple and more advanced approaches to diagnosing and managing common skin problems. In addition, the book features unique, not well known, or not previously described "pearls" for diagnosing and managing dermatological conditions.

The ability to provide quality cost-effective care has become paramount in health care. Needless referrals increase costs in time and money for all concerned. Dermatology for Clinicians: A Practical Guide to Common Skin Conditions allows you to grasp easily and apply efficiently dermatological approaches. It also helps you provide cost-effective care to patients while saving yourself the time-consuming administrative procedures that many insurance companies require for referrals.

"The author has supplied this information with enough relevant background material to allow the non-dermatologist physician to readily understand and apply it comfortably and confidently.
