Visual perception training: a prospective cohort trial of a novel, technology-based method to teach melanoma recognition

Melanoma toolkit for early detection for primary care providers: A pilot study

“…The relatively small percentage-point score improvement in knowledge may have resulted from high baseline test scores, which suggests that a more nuanced test with more challenging lesions may be needed to reflect the knowledge gained. A prior study applying visual perception training for melanoma detection in teaching medical students with lower levels of baseline knowledge demonstrated greater effect in the post-test with sustained knowledge on repeat testing 4 weeks later (Choi et al, 2019). Our findings suggest similar results.…”

Eye with Ears – A Symbol-Based Aid in Medical Teaching

“…Visual observational skills have undergone a renaissance in medicine in recent years [6], [7]. Many institutions of higher education accept the training of visual observation as an important content of the curriculum; often linked to the dermatology course [8], [9]. In undergraduate teaching there have been some publications on the role of art in improving observational skills and on the use of perceptual learning modules [10].…”
