For a complete description of the ARCHIVES ' mission statement, please refer to the table of contents.
A flexible curriculum of article topics is developed annually by the journal 's editorial board and is then supplemented throughout the year with information gained from readers, authors, reviewers, and editors. The Reader 's Choice CME activity allows readers, as adult learners, to determine their own educational needs and to assist the editors in addressing their needs in future issues.
Readers of the Archives of Dermatology should be able to attain the following educational objectives: (1) select and read at least 3 articles per issue to gain new medical information on topics of particular interest to them as physicians, (2) assess its value to them as practicing physicians, and (3) think carefully about how this new information may influence their own practices.
