Joseph B. Bikowski, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Ohio State University Director Bikowski Skin Care Center, Sewickley, PA
Dr. Bikowski is the originator of the concept for this course. He completed his Dermatology residency at Ohio State University Hospital in 1978 and became a Diplomate of the American Board of Dermatology in the same year. This is the 32nd year that Dr Bikowski has directed the Galderma PreBoard Seminar. His enthusiastic dedication to updating the material each year to meet the changing needs of board-eligible dermatologists has made this the pre-eminent review seminar for board certification preparation.
Course Objective
The fundamental aim of the Galderma PreBoard Seminar is to present an educationally valuable review of Dermatology. This is a preparatory seminar which approximates as closely as possible the format of the Kodachrome® segment of the Certifying Examination of the American Board of Dermatology.
The registrant will be exposed to over 750 projected images in a simulated exam environment with immediate review by the faculty members. In this way, the participants will be able to identify areas which might require further study. The seminar and webinar may also help alleviate "pre-test anxiety," thus allowing the registrant to perform at an optimum level of competence during the actual examination.
Instruction Method
The review uses projected images depicting various dermatologic phenomena. Each of eight seminar segments will last 2-1/4 hours and will have 2 subsections.
During the first 45 minutes of each session, the registrant will take a simulated Board Exam consisting of approximately 60 images with one question per image. Each image will be projected on the screen for 45 seconds. The registrant must identify the subject of the image and answer a multiple choice question (printed test questionnaires are provided).
The faculty member will then review each image and accompanying question, answer questions and discuss differential diagnoses in the next 90 minutes. A study guide/syllabus with appropriate references for each question is provided for further review. Emphasis will be on recognizing dermatologic manifestations in an exam-like setting. Your webinar course will follow the same instruction method and simulate the Board "testing center" environment.
Exams
Exam 1 - Hair, Nails and Pigmentary Disorders
This presentation will review the recognition and treatment of disorders of hair, nails, and pigment. These "clinical markers" will then be reviewed as aids in diagnosing underlying systemic abnormalities.
Richard K. Scher, MD
Professor of Clinical Dermatology
University of North Carolina
Exam 2 - Infections (Bacterial, Viral, Fungal) and Infestations
Dermatological infections are a common problem for the clinician. A discussion of clinical diagnosis, appropriate laboratory confirming tests and therapy: gram stains, acid fast stains, and Fite stains will be presented.
Sharon Jacob, MD
Assistant Clinical Professor Medicine (Dermatology)
University of California, San Diego, CA
Exam 3 - Review of the Literature
The Board Examination typically emphasizes not only material from standard textbooks of dermatology, but also recent advances in diagnosis, pathogenesis and treatment. Both dermatologic and non-dermatologic literature will be reviewed.
Bruce Thiers, MD
Chairman, Department of Dermatology and Dermatologic
Surgery, Medical University of South Carolina
Editor, Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology
Exam 4 - Bullous Diseases, Basement Membranes and Autoimmunity
The discussion will focus on the morphologic, pathologic, immunologic and molecular features of bullous diseases, basement membranes and autoimmune disease. Current concepts of pathogenesis and mediators of pathogenesis will also be discussed.
Jo-David Fine, MD
Professor of Medicine (Dermatology) & Pediatrics
Vanderbilt University School of Medicine Head
National Epidermolysis Bullosa Registry
Exam 5 - Drug Actions, Interactions, Reactions
In depth knowledge of drug actions, interactions and reactions is essential for a board certified dermatologist. The discussion will highlight modes of actions and uses of major topical and systemic agents, mechanisms and clinical presentations of major classes of drug reactions, and the pathways and clinical significance of systemic drug interactions.
Brian Berman, MD, PhD
Professor of Dermatology and Internal Medicine
University of Miami Miller School of Medicine
Exam 6 - Cutaneous Oncology and Surgery
The answer to questions concerning salient points of cutaneous surgery and the identification of frequently occurring cutaneous tumors will be covered as they are relevant to examination review.
Elizabeth Magill Billingsley, MD
Professor of Dermatology
Penn State Hershey Medical Center
Exam 7 - Pediatric Dermatology
Cutaneous diseases limited to pediatric patients and specific presentations of cutaneous disease in pediatric patients will be presented. Genodermatoses and correlation of clinical disease with current basic science information will be emphasized.
Susan J. Bayliss, MD
Professor of Dermatology & Pediatrics,
Washington University School of Medicine and
Director of Dermatology, St. Louis Children's Hospital
Exam 8 - JAAD CME Article Review
The CME articles of the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology attempt to provide an educational update on core knowledge in dermatology. They are an appropriate source of questions for Board Examination. These CME articles will be reviewed in this presentation.

Sciences, Wake Forest University School of Medicine
