“…More recently, Amri et al (2012) briefly discusses in a letter to the journal Medical Teacher a randomised controlled trial carried out with two groups of medical students. Group A (control arm) received traditional teaching methods whereas group B (intervention arm) received the intervention which was in this case dermatology teaching sessions using digital clinical photographs.…”

T England. The design used was cross-sectional survey research. The data collection method was a self-completion online survey. A total of 283 students participated in the study. The proportion of students using clinical photographs was 87%, p= 0.217. The medical subject discipline in which clinical photographs were considered by students as most useful were dermatology ( T V Qlibrary made available through their medical school was 92%. The main barrier to using existing photographic resources was awareness.

“…All the included studies were RCTs and conducted between 2002 and 2016 in Brazil (28,32), China (22), France (34), Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (26), Norway (27,31), Sweden (35), Spain (33), US (29,30) and UK (25). Participants ranged from year one undergraduates (22,25,26,28,30,32,33,35) to certified physicians (29,31,34) and nurses (27). The sample sizes in the studies ranged from 46 (30) to 141 (34) and the duration of the intervention varied, from 15 min (28) to 6 months (31).…”

Digital education is a promising new approach with advantages such as scalability, flexibility, portability and adaptability of education. This study synthesized effectiveness evidence for health professions' digital education in dermatology, and assessed whether it can improve knowledge, skills, attitudes and satisfaction as compared to traditional learning. We found 12 studies involving in total 955 health professionals. The main learning outcomes were comparable in terms of knowledge improvement, skills enhancement and satisfaction, suggesting the potential of digital health education to be used as a complementary or alternative method to traditional learning in dermatology. It has the potential to address the increased demand for dermatology education but requires further rigorous research to maximise its potential. Digital health education is a new approach that is receiving increasing attention with advantages such as scalability and flexibility of education. This study employed a Cochrane review approach to assess the evidence for the effectiveness of health professions' digital education in dermatology to improve knowledge, skills, attitudes and satisfaction. Twelve trials (n = 955 health professionals) met our eligibility criteria. Nine studies evaluated knowledge; of those two reported that digital education improved the outcome. Five studies evaluated skill; of those 3 studies stated that digital education improved this outcome whereas 2 showed no difference when compared with control. Of the 5 studies measuring learners' satisfaction, 3 studies claimed high satisfaction scores. Two studies reported that when compared with traditional education, digital education had little effect on satisfaction. The evidence for the effectiveness of digital health education in dermatology is mixed and the overall findings are inconclusive, mainly because of the predominantly very low quality of the evidence. More methodologically robust research is needed to further inform clinicians and policymakers.
