Literature-based Curriculum of Dermatologic Surgery



Literature-based Curriculum of Dermatologic Surgery


Publication Description
Learning dermatologic surgery from a book is useful, but original articles carry the greatest weight. Searching through the literature for a given subject is time consuming, and articles may or may not be available worldwide. We have undertaken the task of developing a literature-based curriculum of dermatologic surgery for a broad variety of topics. We have selected what we feel are the key and valuable articles on each subject, including, as feasible, the original articles for a number of groundbreaking approaches to tumor removal, reconstruction, and cosmesis. The articles herein are drawn widely from the dermatology literature, plastic and reconstructive surgery, otolaryngology, general surgery, and oculoplastic surgery. We do not consider this a static and complete document, and we will continue to edit and add articles to update our subjects.

The first edition of A Literature-based Curriculum of Dermatologic Surgery was created in 2015 through the ASDS Future Leaders Network. The 2nd edition of A Literature-based Curriculum of Dermatologic Surgery was updated and reviewed by the Surgical Directors Forum in 2020.
