A new iBook to help doctors recognize and treat common skin problems.
Edmonton’s Fission Media is proud to announce the release of an iBook to help medical… professionals better identify 25 common and important skin problems. The book is called Rapid Fire Dermatology and is the brainchild of Dr. Benjamin Barankin, a leading Toronto dermatologist and author, and Dr. Anil Kurian, a University of Alberta dermatology resident.
The two hit on the idea of taking their handy little book and moving it to a tablet format. Fission Media convinced them to go with an iBook for the iPad to start. “iBooks are becoming more and more mainstream in today’s society and given the high level of interactivity with this type of book, it is both educational and fun to use at the same time,” says Dr. Kurian.
The book presents a series of high quality photographs of common skin problems along with an outline of each case. A set of multiple-choice questions makes the book more fun and relevant. Once they complete the questions, they’re presented with an expert analysis from the two doctors along with recommended treatments. According to the doctors, this practical book should help take the mystery out of dermatology.
Dr. Barankin is convinced the book will be a hit with primary care physicians, pediatricians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, medical students and residents. “Case-based scenarios in medicine are a well-received and highly utilized style of learning among physicians and trainees. We aspired to integrate a large number of dermatological case-based conditions packed into a succinct book with high quality images. We also decided that, in this day and age an App would be of great value to many healthcare providers.”
Fission Media’s President, Tom Dodd, foresees an explosion in the use of iBooks. “They’re more interactive, more portable and easier to produce than paper based books. This form of publishing is also much easier to update for professions that are constantly changing,” says Dodd.
Fission Media is currently working on an iBook for breast cancer survivors.
