The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in profound changes to most facets of medical practice. The field of dermatology has adapted by rapidly incorporating teledermatology as a means of evaluating, treating, and staying connected with our patients. Broader dermatology access, convenience to patients, and value to payers are benefits to this rapidly evolving practice model and suggest that teledermatology will be a part of day-to-day practice even as the worst of the pandemic is behind us. This interview provides one recent dermatology resident graduate's experiences incorporating teledermatology into his practice model and provides advice for future residents on preparing to do the same.
COVID-19 大流行导致医学实践的大多数方面发生了深刻的变化。皮肤科领域通过迅速采用远程皮肤病学作为评估、治疗和与患者保持联系的手段来适应这一变化。更广泛的皮肤科就诊机会、为患者提供的便利以及对支付方的价值是这种快速发展的实践模式的好处,并表明即使大流行最严重的时期已经过去,远程皮肤病学也将成为日常实践的一部分。本次访谈提供了一位最近毕业的皮肤科住院医师将远程皮肤病学纳入其实践模式的经验,并为未来的住院医师提供了为此做准备的建议。
