In PA school, many use the PANCE study guides as reference texts for their didactic year. I prefer Current. It’s more detailed yet concise enough it be a fast read. The pharmaceutical information is excellent, the dermatology section illustrated with color photographs and the over all organization of the book easy to navigate. I highly recommend the purchase.

The usual excellent reference tome in this ageless series. Highly recommended for medical students everywhere, but also for interns, residents, and practitioners. A current copy belongs on every Dr.'s bookshelf.
