Many patients with inflammatory vulvovaginal skin diseases, such as lichen planus and lichen sclerosus, experience a delay in diagnosis and lack of appropriate treatment. Unfortunately, patients experience significant morbidity with these conditions.
The aim of this study was to assess the adequacy of training in vulvar dermatoses for dermatology and obstetrics-gynecology residents (in the United States), with a secondary goal of identifying the most ideal modality to broadly reach these residents with high quality instruction.
We created a survey with questions relating to attitudes about training in vulvovaginal disease, quantity of current education on the subject, and opinions on ways to improve training. The survey was distributed to obstetrics-gynecology and dermatology residents and program directors nationwide.
Most respondents reported that training was not adequate in this area and that additional education was needed.
We propose that online, interactive, case-based learning modules, created by vulvovaginal experts, could help improve graduate medical education and lead to better patient outcomes.
许多患有炎症性外阴阴道皮肤病（如扁平苔藓和硬化性苔藓）的患者在诊断上存在延迟，且缺乏适当的治疗。不幸的是，这些疾病给患者带来了严重的发病率。
本研究的目的是评估（美国）皮肤科和妇产科住院医师在外阴皮肤病方面的培训是否充足，其次要目标是确定以高质量教学广泛覆盖这些住院医师的最理想方式。
我们创建了一项调查问卷，内容涉及对外阴阴道疾病培训的态度、当前关于该主题的教育量以及对改进培训方法的意见。该调查问卷分发给了全国的妇产科和皮肤科住院医师及项目主任。
大多数受访者表示该领域的培训不足，需要更多教育。
我们建议由外阴阴道专家创建的在线、交互式、基于病例的学习模块有助于改善毕业后医学教育，并带来更好的患者治疗结果。
