Taylor and Elbuluk's Color Atlas and Synopsis for Skin of Color

Dermatologists, medical students, and other health professionals untrained to recognize presentation of skin disease in non-white patients often inaccurately diagnose skin disease in skin of color patients. The perfect resource for comparative study of dermatologic disorders in skin of color, Taylor and Elbuluk's Color Atlas and Synopsis for Skin of Color helps readers recognize the differences in disease presentation amongst lighter and darker skin types. This understanding will ultimately lead to the provision of optimal care to patients with skin of color. Through hundreds of color images, this unique guide illustrates the differences in appearance of common dermatology conditions between Fitzpatrick’s Skin Type I-III light skin tones and Fitzpatrick’s Skin Type IV-VI dark skin tones.

• Dermatologists (10,000); residents (1,500); fellows (700); internists (38,000); plastic surgeons (20,000);
  medical students (22,000); nurse practitioners (270,000); physician assistant (115,000); primary care
  (220,000); educators, researchers, and scientists (Pharma)
• By 2050, it is predicted that over half the U.S. population will have darker skin tones or skin of color, yet
  physicians are still being primarily trained to diagnose skin conditions based on White skin; this guide provides
  an alternative to this inadequate and potentially harmful approach.
• Readers learn how to recognize disorders that present differently in dark skin tones and can be misdiagnosed.
• Using color images, this authoritative guide shows the color, shape, size, and morphologic patterns needed to
  make an accurate diagnosis.
