The Medical Short Case: An examination guide

We have come out with a book on clinical examination with the emphasis on local experience and cases.

These are common examination cases.

 

This book is designed to meet the need of those preparing for exam (undergraduate or postgraduate).We try to illustrate each case with reasonable approach and share interesting signs. The cases chosen are relevant to our local practice. Commonly asked questions and answers were discussed in this book.

PDS 2011 Welcome Message

Dear colleagues and friends,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is my pleasure to welcome all of you to the 2^nd Penang Dermatology Symposium, which is organized by the Department of Dermatology, Hospital Pulau Pinang.  The main objective of the symposium is to provide a continuous medical education program in the field of dermatology for all government doctors and private practitioners.

Our theme for this year is “Pediatric Dermatology”. This presents an opportunity to update and equip ourselves with the knowledge needed in facing the challenges of managing pediatric dermatology cases especially among the neonates or infants.   We are indeed privileged and honored to have all the four Pediatric Dermatologists in country to be here to share their experience and expertise.

I would like to express our gratitude to the Penang Hospital Director, all invited speakers, co-organizers, sponsors and all the staff of the Department of Dermatology for their support and anyone who in one way or the other has contributed in making this event possible

I wish everyone a fruitful and enjoyable time

Dr Chan Lee Chin
