Introduction:Clinical Dermatology is a visually oriented specialty, where visually oriented teaching is more important than it is in any other specialty. It is essential that students must have repeated exposure to common dermatological disorders in the limited hours of Dermatology clinical teaching.Aim:This study was conducted to assess the effect of clinical images based teaching as a supplement to the patient based clinical teaching in Dermatology, among final year MBBS students.Methods:A clinical batch comprising of 19 students was chosen for the study. Apart from the routine clinical teaching sessions, clinical images based teaching was conducted. This teaching method was evaluated using a retrospective pre-post questionnaire. Students’ performance was assessed using Photo Quiz and an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE). Feedback about the addition of images based class was collected from students.Results:A significant improvement was observed in the self-assessment scores following images based teaching. Mean OSCE score was 6.26/10, and that of Photo Quiz was 13.6/20.Conclusion:This Images based Dermatology teaching has proven to be an excellent supplement to routine clinical cases based teaching.
density and few acneiform papules were observed over the patch [ Figure 1]. Histopathological examination of biopsy specimen showed hyperkeratosis, acanthosis, and heavy pigmentation of basal keratinocytes with melanophages in the upper dermis [ Figure 2]. Bone survey of ipsilateral lower limb with X-ray and computed tomography scan showed no abnormality.
ABSTRACTBecker's nevus is an acquired and persistent asymmetrical area of skin pigmentation sometimes showing evidence of increased androgen sensitivity which typically occurs, postpuberty. Though the usual site is described as shoulder, anterior chest, or scapular region, it can occur over other unusual sites as well. We report such a rarer presentation of Becker's nevus on leg in a young female.
