The University of Florida Department of Dermatology sponsors the annual Florida Dermatology & Dermatopathology Board Review Course. The purpose of this course is to provide senior dermatology residents with a focused review of dermatology and dermatopathology to aid participants in preparation for the American Board of Dermatology’s APPLIED Certification Exam.
This Dermatology & Dermatopathology Board Review Course is a comprehensive regimen that is similar to the Dermatology Board Exam. It is meant to be a broad review of possible topics that could appear on the exam. The dermatology portion of the course focuses on high yield dermatology topics, including but not limited to basic science, basement membrane biology, dermatological manifestation of internal disease, hair and nail biology/disorders, pediatric dermatology, pharmacology, contact dermatitis, and pediatric dermatology.
In the dermatopathology portion of the course, participants examine over 100 digital microscopic slides in a self-test format followed by a review of all the slides examined.
Please note: We are neither affiliated with nor represent the American Board of Dermatology. For information about exam dates or other test questions, please refer to the ABD website or your program director.
