"The Full Spectrum of Dermatology: A Diverse and Inclusive Atlas" announces expansion of its educational reach with a digital online free image gallery that provides more than 800 images of 110 commonly diagnosed dermatologic conditions in an array of skin tones. This iteration compliments the print atlas which was first released in 2021. A second print edition was released in 2022 and provided to all dermatology residents and program directors in the US.
The printed atlas and online image gallery are supported by Galderma USA and Cetaphil, which provided the grant for the printed atlas for all US dermatology residents and program directors in 2022.
"Our vision for the atlas is that it is a living, evolving, and growing image database that will ultimately provide unparalleled access to diverse skin/hair/nail images for trainees and practitioners alike, even beyond the dermatology community and the U.S. These resources are not only meant to directly educate the user, but encourage said user(s) to incorporate these inclusive images within their educational activities and programs", stated co-editors Misty Eleryan, MD, MS, and Adam Friedman, MD.
Developed by co-editors Misty Eleryan, MD, MS, and Adam Friedman, MD, and published by SanovaWorks and Educational Testing & Assessment Systems, the printed and online atlas includes high-quality, medical-grade images of real patients. The images are royalty-free and designed for medical education.
Importantly, both the atlas and an associated social media-based program titled "The Many Faces of…" provide expert commentary discussing the distinct features of certain conditions and highlight specific characteristics that would assist the user in accurately diagnosing the condition on any skin tone. The atlas was born out of the realization that despite advances, a gap still exists of high-quality depictions of dermatological conditions across the full spectrum of skin tones.
"Galderma is thrilled to support such an important initiative to help educate the community. The extensive work that Dr. Eleryan and Dr. Friedman have dedicated to this project will make a huge difference in the dermatology community for both trainees and practitioners,” said Silvina Nordenstohl, head of US Galderma.
Cetaphil, Galderma’s flagship consumer skincare brand, marked its 75th anniversary in 2022.
