I built this course around the dermatologic decisions I actually see physicians struggle with in clinic — not the rare zebras, but the daily ambiguity. Is this eczema or psoriasis? Topical or systemic? Treat now or biopsy first? Manage or refer?

Each session is structured around the reasoning, not the diagnosis — so the framework transfers to whatever skin presentation walks in next.
