Training Dermatology Residents in Dermatoscopy: A Case Control Lecture Series Assessment

Lack of standardized dermatoscopy training limits confidence and accuracy. We assessed the impact of a dermatoscopy lecture series on the diagnostic accuracy of dermatology residents' biopsies. Additionally, we evaluated resident comfort with and knowledge of dermatoscopy before and after the curriculum.Twelve dermatology residents were enrolled in a five-month dedicated dermatoscopy curriculum. To assess knowledge of and comfort with dermatoscopy, residents were given a 50-question assessment and 21-question survey before and after the curriculum.
