While studying for USMLE Step 1 and Step 2, I gathered a lot of information from different resources and compacted them into clinical, pathological, and basic science sense. They are perfect for studying, writing notes above them, or having a quick but comprehensive review on dermatology. Highly recommended if you're studying for USMLE Step 1 or Step 2, going into a dermatology rotation, or planning on specializing in dermatology. The notes are typed, with pictures and tables.
