Abstract

Dermatoweb is a website to aid undergraduate dermatology training. It includes the dermatology program of the Lerida Faculty of Medicine, and is based principally on clinical presentations, tables with the differential diagnosis of the 20 most common reasons for dermatologic consultation, about 200 clinical test cases to stimulate self-training, and a subject list with the 32 topics that make up the dermatology syllabus in many faculties of medicine. Thanks to this website, some of our students achieve high marks in dermatology despite hardly coming to classes. In addition, therapeutic guidelines for the common dermatoses can be found on the site, and an atlas with more than 5,300 photographs and almost 100 videos on the more common dermatological procedures; these can serve as a visual aid for family doctors, residents in dermatology in the initial years, and practicing dermatologists.
