The effect of a dermato-oncologic training program on the diagnostic skills and quality of referrals for suspicious skin lesions by general practitioners.

CONCLUSION: GPs who followed a DOTP had better diagnostic skills and quality of referrals than untrained GPs, leading to less potentially unnecessary referrals. This might enhance a more efficient use of the limited capacity in secondary dermatologic care and consequently leads to lower healthcare costs. PMID: 32407577 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
