by David J Cadenhead, MD MEd, 05/25/2009

Pros: Clears cobwebs, teaches new material raidly, near immed feedback, increases awareness succintly and easily

Cons: Not enough of it yet available to the wireless community, (MMS), as this is still in Beta.That is, I see no cons, as long as examples are referreed and felt to be apppropriate examples for those who might rely on a single exposure to remember diagnostic etiologic, and treatment information.

Other thoughts: More, please, all speciallties.

Pros: Very good review of some of the common and uncommon diseases. software may need to be upgraded a bit. i didnt find any problem with images tho :)

Cons:

Other thoughts: I will like to see more of the common dermatological conditions presenting unusual way, or atypical way. Also its will be a better idea to provide some treatment options along with the disgnosis.

Pros:

Cons: There is something technologically wrong with the program. Only one of the images would enlarge, I could not change images with a single or double click, and there was not explanation as to which picture was correct.

Pros: Great format and use of zoom feature. For those in primary care, it's all about seeing lesions over and over again and this format provides that quick review without getting bogged down in lengthy text.

Cons: Just not enough of them. Also would be helpful to be able to get the other answers after selecting the correct answer by just mousing over them. A comparison table or section which describes how to differentiate between the lesions shown would be nice.
