It is aimed at trainee and consultant histopathologists who are inexperienced in dermatopathology and wish to gain a basic understanding of a diagnositc approach to skin problems, in the context of clinical dermatology. It is also intended to provide dermatologists of all grades with an introduction to dermatopathology and to provide general practitioners and medical students with an illustrated day-to-day dermatology.
