TRANSCRIPT
JACK TOOLE
Students have been underexposed to dermatology for years
No gft dermatologists Several studies suggest that as many as 20%
of primary care visits involve the skin Dermatology hours in the curriculum
account for much less than 1 % Examination questions much less than 1% Most needs based CME surveys result in
great demand for Dermatology

5 days of clinics one student per dermatologist in office
110 students x 5 Days = 550 days of teaching
10 potential teachers = 55 days of teaching 11 to 12 weeks per teacher minimum
No GFT dermatologist All dermatologists in private practice
responsible for significant overhead expenses huge clinical demand ( 3 to 9 month wait lists)
No full time University secretarial, administrative staff
If all Dermatologists agreed to participate ◦ 10 hours of small group tutorials ◦ 60 days of in office teaching 480 hours? ◦ Roughly 500 hours of teaching per dermatologist
Dermatologists are not willing to commit this time ◦ Most have students or residents for 1/3 of their
office time now ◦ Many expressed frustration with teaching
dermatology to undergrads Poor attendance Interest only in exam relevance Not necessary to pass the course ◦ Little if any compensation
Dermatologists would agree to continuing the current didactic lecture course or would consider replacing it with five small group tutorials.The online course would need to be upgraded and loaded to Opal if we were to replace the didactic lectures
The clinical experience would be a limited number of one week electives interested students could apply for.
