The use of videoconferencing as a teaching modality in dermatology is not widespread. The objectives of this study were to introduce the videoconferencing format to dermatology journal clubs and to determine its effects on the training and satisfaction of house officers (residents). Ten dermatology house officers participated in this study. They were being trained at three university hospitals in rotation. A videoconferencing facility maintained by the hospitals for remote conferencing was used. After completing a 1-year journal club programme, house officers were asked about their satisfaction levels on a 5-point Likert scale using a questionnaire. Videoconferencing meant that the house officers and attending physicians from sister hospitals remained at their own hospitals, thus saving much time. Using videoconferencing the journal club could be held more frequently and more articles could be studied. In general the participants' satisfaction with the videoconferencing journal club was high. The adoption of videoconferencing produced promising results, increasing the efficiency of house officer training.
视频会议作为皮肤科教学方式的应用并不广泛。本研究的目的是将视频会议形式引入皮肤科期刊俱乐部，并确定其对住院医师培训及满意度的影响。十位皮肤科住院医师参与了本研究。他们在三家大学医院轮流接受培训。使用了医院维护的用于远程会议的视频会议设施。在完成为期一年的期刊俱乐部项目后，通过问卷调查让住院医师以五分制李克特量表对他们的满意度进行评价。视频会议意味着住院医师和来自姐妹医院的主治医师可留在各自医院，从而节省了大量时间。通过视频会议，期刊俱乐部能够更频繁地举办，并且可以研读更多文章。总体而言，参与者对视频会议期刊俱乐部的满意度较高。采用视频会议取得了喜人的成果，提高了住院医师培训的效率。
