Jules Lipoff, MD
Dermatologist, Writer, Researcher, Advocate
Books
A review book for medical trainees and practitioners.
"This text is a compilation of many wonderful pearls and mnemonics. As the back cover states, the text "is derived from the author's notes taken during dermatology residency"-- the author clearly took great notes. While the book is geared toward residents, it would benefit medical students, early career dermatologists, and dermatologists preparing for their maintenance of certification; it also conveniently fits into a white coat pocket.
Like Dr. Lipoff, I am a clinician-educator, and my residents are always asking me: (1) where they can find good mnemonics, (2) where they can find good lists of differential diagnoses, (3) where they can find basic work-ups for clinical findings (eg, retiform purpura), and (4) where they can find high yield facts about a variety of different diagnoses/procedures/treatments. Until now, I didn't have a good answer -- now I do! I can already imagine my residents hurriedly scribbling notes in this book.”
