The Dermatology Board Review offers an valuable scholarly review of Dermatology and useful regimen that will prepare attendees for the Dermatology Board exam, maintenance of certification self assessment questions, and recertifying exam. Designed to be a comprehensive review of possible topics that could appear on the exam, this course will focus on general dermatology topics such as basic science, basement membrane biology, dermatological manifest of internal disease, hair and nail biology/disorders, skin cancer, pediatric dermatology, drug metabolism, and many more. Presentations will be dedicated to reviewing both exam relevant procedural dermatology and dermatopathology.

Topics will be covered in one hour lectures. Participants will be given access to lectures via Online, DVDs, or Audio CDs at their pace and comfort. Lectures are projected in powerpoint format with the speakers’ commentary superimposed with each related slide. Learners will be provided the powerpoint slides in order for note taking and ease of review, both of which enhance the learning experience and ultimately outcomes.

Having completely viewed each lecture, participants are required to complete a five to 10 question quiz. Quiz questions are multiple-choice or true-false and include pictures taken from the PowerPoint presentation as part of the lecture. When the participant passes the quiz by correctly answering 60% or more of the questions, the presentation will be successfully completed. Upon completion of the lecture and passing the associated quiz, participants can submit for continuing education credit.

Participants are also provided with surveys as a way of course evaluation necessary to further evaluate any unmet requirements and continually improve this ongoing academic program.
