Dermatological conditions form a significant number of consultations seen by general practitioners on a daily basis. There is a lack of training and formal assessment of dermatology during medical school and we propose that there should be a mandatory component in OSCEs for dermatology during medical school to enhance one's diagnostic and clinical reasoning skills which will ultimately lead to better care for the patient and efficacious use of NHS resources.
皮肤病状况构成了全科医生日常接诊的大量病例。医学院校期间缺乏皮肤病学方面的培训和正式评估,我们建议医学院校的客观结构化临床考试(OSCE)中应设有皮肤病学的必修部分,以提高学生的诊断和临床推理技能,这最终将为患者提供更好的护理,并有效利用英国国家医疗服务体系(NHS)的资源。
