The management of acute burn wound and chronic burn scar typically involves burn specialists, yet patients often rely on dermatologists to address post-burn sequelae associated with burn injury and scar. However, there is a lack of burn-specific education, exposure, and overall confidence in managing burn within the field of dermatology. This research correspondence provides a brief review of published literature pertaining to themes such as the lack of burn resources and a potential increased risk of skin cancer after a burn injury. Additionally, this correspondence explains the rationale for why increased burn-related training within dermatology is necessary to optimize care and to improve patient outcomes. Challenges regarding the integration of burn education into dermatology will also be explored. All in all, the development of a greater number of burn-specific Graduate Medical Education (GME) and Continuing Medical Education (CME) opportunities will adequately address resource disparity through an expanded awareness of burn pathogenesis, treatment, and long-term outcomes.
急性烧伤创面和慢性烧伤瘢痕的管理通常由烧伤专科医生负责，但患者常常依赖皮肤科医生来处理与烧伤损伤和瘢痕相关的烧伤后后遗症。然而，皮肤科领域在烧伤相关教育、接触经验以及处理烧伤方面的整体信心都有所欠缺。本研究通讯简要回顾了已发表的文献，这些文献涉及诸如烧伤资源匮乏以及烧伤后皮肤癌潜在风险增加等主题。此外，本通讯解释了为何皮肤科增加与烧伤相关的培训对于优化护理和改善患者预后是必要的。还将探讨将烧伤教育融入皮肤科所面临的挑战。总而言之，通过扩大对烧伤发病机制、治疗方法和长期预后的认识，增加更多针对烧伤的毕业后医学教育（GME）和继续医学教育（CME）机会，将充分解决资源差距问题。
