Making Rash Decisions: How Dermatologists Think - Dr. David Harker

Join VisualDx for a lecture on how dermatologists think and approach diagnosis. Dr. David Harker will discuss why morphology and description in dermatology are so important, provide an overview of how to describe a rash (primary lesion, secondary features, arrangement, distribution), how to review how these features group a rash into categories (reaction patterns) and how those categories inform a proper differential diagnosis. Dr. Harker will also review some resources that are high yield for non-dermatologists to learn some basic dermatology, and finish with a cautionary tale. This lecture is geared toward non-dermatologist clinicians, including primary care and emergency medicine MDs, DOs, NPs, and PAs.
