Medical Student Melanoma Detection Rates in White and African American Skin using Moulage and Standardized Patients

Abstract

previously published by our group [7]. As before, we utilized a wrist pain case with a melanoma moulage painted on the second digit of the SP's hand where it would be easily visible during an examination of the hands (Fig.1). Four non-Hispanic white (referred to as white) actors and 4 African American actors presented our case after a board-certified dermatologist (CH) reviewed the moulage for realism.During the SP training sessions, a dermatologist (CH) helped coach the SPs on how to answer questions about the clinical history and symptoms of the simulated melanoma. The SP was instructed not to mention the lesion unless the student noticed the moulage. It is only if the student mentions the simulated lesion that the SP would answer specific questions posed by the student. The SPs were to provide the following information if asked by the student: the lesion was noticed approximately 6-8 months prior, the lesion has been growing in size; the patient grew up in Florida with heavy sun exposure, had no prior history of skin cancer, experienced no symptoms of pain or bleeding, and noticed no other changes in any other nevi.

Analysis of availability, types, and implementation of teledermatology services during COVID-19

“…3 A major concern lies in patients with new diagnoses of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions who require new prescriptions of hydroxychloroquine, now subject to more stringent quantity limits. Currently available data regarding the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine in the treatment of COVID-19 are conflicting, 4,5 and the durability of this new indication for hydroxychloroquine remains to be seen. If current market demand for hydroxychloroquine continues to exceed supply, and large…”

Nursing Students’ Performance and Satisfaction Regarding the Classification of Pressure Injuries Using Simulation With Moulage

“…(Uzelli Yilmaz & Sari 2018; Stokes-Parish, Duvivier & Jolly 2019; Sarmasoglu et al 2020). Several studies have been published on the evaluation of skin assessment skills among healthcare students (Seckman & Ahearn 2010;Goulart et al 2012;Hernandez et al 2013;Wang et al 2015;Flores & Hess 2018;Zorn, Snyder & Guthrie 2018;Uzelli Yilmaz & Sari 2021). Sezgunsoy and Basak (2020) investigated whether using moulage on high-fidelity simulators improves nursing students' clinical skills to assess PI compared to using visuals.…”
