Derm101 is an online and mobile resource for physicians and healthcare professionals to learn the diagnosis and treatment of dermatologic diseases.[1] The resource includes online textbooks, interactive quizzes, peer-reviewed open access dermatology journals, a dermatologic surgery video library, case studies, thousands of clinical photographs and photomicrographs of skin diseases, and mobile applications.

History

Dr. A. Bernard Ackerman (1936–2008), a prominent figure in dermatology and dermatopathology, and Andy Zwick, his nephew and collaborator, founded Derm101 in 2002.[2][3] The concept for Derm101 was envisioned and proposed to Dr. Ackerman by Zwick in 1999, while he was a senior at Harvard, and they went on to develop Derm101 together. Derm101 debuted in February 2002 at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology in New Orleans.
