Interactive teaching and repeat exposure maximize medical student satisfaction but do not promote long-term retention of dermatologic knowledge.

CONCLUSIONS: Medical students are able to maintain long-term retention of dermatologic knowledge irrespective of in-class teaching method. Repeat exposure to material is important but self-review of dermatology alone is sufficient for long-term retention. Dermatology course directors should incorporate interactive teaching into medical school curricula to increase learner satisfaction. PMID: 31738839 [PubMed - in process]
