Dermatology module practice exam for PA students
Derm is a visual, vocabulary-driven module — primary lesions, distributions, and time courses. Question practice builds the descriptive fluency the exams (and clinic) expect.
FirstPassPA's Module Exams give you a timed, single-block practice exam scoped to one module — 10, 25, or 50 questions at 60 seconds each, the same pacing as the boards. The didactic mix keeps the depth at easy and medium difficulty, matched to where a didactic-year course actually tests; one click adds the hard, board-level questions back when you're ready. The Dermatology mix currently holds 277 clinician-reviewed questions, drawn from the same 6,400+ bank you'll use through boards.
What a Dermatology didactic module covers
Lesion morphology & terminology
The primary and secondary lesion vocabulary every question uses.
Inflammatory dermatoses
Eczema-family, psoriasis, and the reactive rashes.
Infections & infestations
Bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic skin disease patterns.
Neoplasms
The skin cancers and their precursor lesions.
Drug eruptions & severe reactions
The rash-plus-red-flag presentations that can't be missed.
Pediatric & hair/nail disorders
The childhood exanthems and common hair and nail findings.
How to study for the Dermatology module exam
- Describe every rash in lesion vocabulary before naming it — module questions are written in that language.
- Time course plus distribution identifies most rashes before the picture does.
- Then test it. Take a 25-question Dermatology module exam on the didactic mix, read every explanation — right answers included — and re-run a 10-question Quick Check on the topics that missed.
