Using Lessons From an Underserved Family Medicine Dermatology Fellowship to Improve Family Medicine Resident Learning in Dermatology (Richard Usatine MD)

The first half of the session will describe the only underserved family medicine dermatology fellowship in the country. The second half will apply ideas from the fellowship training to the training of family medicine residents in dermatology. One of the stated goals of the fellowship is to improve the quality of dermatology training across the board for family physicians. The faculty and fellows in the program have been instrumental in developing new resources and curricula in dermatology. These resources will be shared with the participants. Some of the special skills learned in the fellowship that could be taught to family medicine residents include: skin cancer surgery, dermoscopy, use of systemic medicines for psoriasis and the use of isotretinoin in the treatment of acne.
