“…A 1996 survey of deans of US medical schools, to which 63 (53%) responded, found that a core curriculum in dermatology (mandatory or elective) was provided at just 61% of responding schools. 17 A mean of 18 contact hours of dermatology core course instruction was noted per medical student, with 71% of this education occurring during the second year of medical school. However, there was significant curricular variation among institutions.…”

“…The current available time for dermatology training in medical schools in the U.S., European countries (e.g., the U.K.) and Brazil is not proportional to the number of cutaneous diseases that are likely to be encountered in a typical ambulatory care setting 7,8. It is estimated that 4-7% of office visits by adult and pediatric patients are for dermatological complaints 4,5,6,9.…”

“…Because the majority of patients with cutaneous problems are not initially seen by a dermatologist, doctors involved in general care medicine will be expected to deal with an increasing frequency of skin disorders 7. To improve the dermatological background of future general physicians, new tools should be developed to increase medical students' exposure to dermatology 7…”

INTRODUCTION:Dermatological disorders are common in medical practice. In medical school, however, the time devoted to teaching dermatology is usually very limited. Therefore, online educational systems have increasingly been used in medical education settings to enhance exposure to dermatology.OBJECTIVE:The present study was designed to develop an e-learning program for medical students in dermatology and evaluate the impact of this program on learning.METHODS:This prospective study included second year medical students at the University of Technology and Science, Salvador, Brazil. All students attended discussion seminars and practical activities, and half of the students had adjunct online seminars (blended learning). Tests were given to all students before and after the courses, and test scores were evaluated.RESULTS:Students who participated in online discussions associated with face-to-face activities (blended learning) had significantly higher posttest scores (9.0±0.8) than those who only participated in classes (7.75±1.8, p <0.01).CONCLUSIONS:The results indicate that an associated online course might improve the learning of medical students in dermatology.

“…The situation is worse in the United States, where medical students receive an average of 18 hours of dermatology teaching, with 41% of medical schools providing a required core curriculum in dermatology. 15 In the United Kingdom, all 24 medical schools included dermatology in their core curriculum. Twenty-one of these schools also included 54 hours devoted to dermatology in the clinical clerkship.…”
