Teaching dermatology to medical students: a survey of current practice in the U.K

The British Journal of Dermatology
Susan M Burge, British Association of University Teachers of Dermatology

Abstract

In 1993, the General Medical Council recommended that all medical schools should revise their curricula for undergraduate medical education and foster more interdisciplinary collaboration in teaching. In accordance with these recommendations, new curricula have been introduced in U.K. medical schools. To assess the impact of changes in medical curricula on the teaching of dermatology to medical undergraduates. A questionnaire was sent to the dermatologists responsible for organizing the teaching of undergraduate dermatology in each of the 24 medical schools in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Replies were received from all schools. Nineteen of the 24 schools had already introduced integrated curricula and the others were changing more slowly. Some dermatology was included in the core curriculum in all schools. Dermatologists in 14 schools contributed to the teaching of basic science and students in 18 schools were able in years 1 and 2 to see patients in primary care (14) and/or the hospital (13). In nine of these schools, students could meet dermatology patients in these early clinical sessions. Nine schools used some problem-based learning (PBL) in addition to other teaching methods, but PBL predominated in four...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
