from experts and educators in dermatology
The LearnDerm resources have been developed in a format that allows educators to integrate into their curriculum or students to expand self-study
About LearnDerm
Our free LearnDerm resources have been developed for students and educators in an effort to help supplement the overloaded curriculums of today's medical schools. Drawing upon our expertise in visual diagnosis and diagnostic decision support, we have crafted 3 unique tools that drive effective learning and teaching for dermatology: LearnDerm Tutorial, LearnDerm Pocket Reference, and LearnDerm Lecture Presentation for Educators.
The LearnDerm Tutorial is an interactive and engaging self-study learning environment. The LearnDerm Tutorial replaces the Morphology Tutorial previously found on this Web site. The new expanded tutorial includes new material in every area of the dermatology fundamentals. Now consisting of 5 lessons, the LearnDerm Tutorial covers the basic skin exam, lesion types, distribution and body location, configurations, and an introduction to disease variation. In addition, upon completion of the self-passed tests found in 2 of the lessons, students can print their scores as proof of completion for their instructors.
The combination of the LearnDerm Tutorial, LearnDerm Pocket Reference, and LearnDerm Lecture Presentation for Educators brings a strong dermatology learning program to any medical education curriculum.
