Summary: Best Book for a Derm Rotation
Rating: 4

If you are a medical student doing a derm rotation or plan on entering a primary care residency, this book is THE book to own. I wouldn't have minded having the online edition, but with not knowing when the new edition would come out (and subsequently when the online subscription would run out), it didn't seem to be worth the money.

Summary: Excellent Office Reference - Used almost every day
Rating: 5

I have owned or used the various editions of Habif's Clinical Dermatology for over ten years in our general internal medicine practice and return to it again and again. I have also used a variety of other Dermatology books brought in by staff - typically the $60 - $80 range books. They are typically o.k. but nothing stands up to Habif and I recommending spending the extra $ for it (in the $125 range). The pictures are big, clear and of typical presentations,the layout logical, the review of basics up front helpful and thoughtfully presented. You will find that this is the one you reach for when you need help.

Summary: Excellent derm kickstart
Rating: 5

We covered this book during our first six weeks in derm residency, and this was an excellent way to start. Just enough info with good pics and tx options. Good for both derm and primary care alike.

This book was well worth the money. It's really a good one to have on your shelf,even if you're in general medicine. I'm glad I bought it. And you really can't go wrong with Habif.
