Teaching Dermatology to Canadian Undergraduate Medical Students

Abstract: It is important to have dermatology included throughout the undergraduate medical curriculum because most dermatologic problems are seen by nondermatologists. Respondents at each school believed that there may be value in moving toward a national strategy for dermatology curriculum changes, and this can ensure both uniformity and consistency within Canada.

“…The recently introduced GP guidelines recommend cryotherapy for five or fewer AKs, which is comparable with international guidelines . The limited treatment modalities used by GPs may be a reflection of limited familiarity of GPs with different treatment modalities for AK, possibly because of the undersupply of dermatology training in both GP specialist training and continuing medical education programmes in many countries . Effective and successful implementation of the primary care guidelines has the potential to fill this educational gap in the short term, and may result in the decreased use of nonindicated treatments (such as antibiotics) and structuring the use of suitable treatments by GPs.…”

“…Many countries including the Netherlands, have some level of gatekeeping in access to specialists, although the extent varies widely between countries . However, with skin cancer GP education being side‐lined in both a national and an international perspective, successful AK management (and thus efficient gatekeeping) is compromised . Increasing the familiarity of GPs with AK management by extending dermatology training for GPs may increase the likelihood of treating the condition themselves, reducing the use of nonindicated treatments (e.g.…”
