Our work in medical education seeks to understand 1) how new techniques and platforms can be used to improve dermatology education, and 2) how medical education is evolving to incorporate new concepts and challenges.
Prior studies have included evaluations of phototherapy and teledermatology curricula in dermatology residency programs, generation of a novel, video-based flipped simulation curriculum for dermatology surgery, and an introductory skin cancer curriculum for medical students.
