The Integumentary Course gives you the most important things you need to know about diseases of the skin. The skin is the largest organ in our body and is our major protection from infection! It’s so important that we understand how to assess the skin, how to prevent any kind of breakdown, and how to treat any lesions or wounds. We’ll walk you through some of the most common skin diseases, how to identify them, and how to care for those patients.
