Teledermatology as pedagogy: diagnostic and management concordance between resident and attending dermatologists

J Am Acad Dermatol. 2015 Mar;72(3):555-7. doi: 10.1016/j.jaad.2014.11.011.

Abstract

To the Editor: Teledermatology may serve as a platform for the education of dermatology residents. Few studies have measured diagnostic and management concordance between residents evaluating patients in-person and attending dermatologists supervising residents via teledermatology. We report diagnostic and management concordance between resident and attending dermatologists responding to store-and-forward teledermatology consults submitted by primary care providers and discuss implications for resident education.
