Resident Scholarly Project Presentation: Teaching Medical Students About Dermoscopy
Dermoscopy is rarely taught to U.S. medical students. PGY4 UTMB dermatology resident Dr. Jason Jones decided to see if he could teach UTMB medical students more about the topic. He developed an instructional lecture and gave it to interested medical students. Following the lecture, they were better able to distinguish between melanocytic tumors that required referral to a dermatologist or a diagnostic biopsy.
