Greetings!


I am very happy the Six Pack is a success! By unanimous request, we will be expanding it to the Deceptive Dozen. I have placed 6 additional slides in the flat in the resident's office.

Don't forget, our Sixth D.R.A.F.T. is on Tuesday, April 21st, 2009 at 630PM at the Dermatopathology Institute.

Continuing the Clinical Mock Dermatology Boards series:
