International Journal of Dermatology, 08/25/09
Noor O et al. – Dermoscopy is a widely used tool for the diagnosis of pigmented skin lesions. The survey indicated that the majority of physicians used dermoscopy in order to reduce patient anxiety and to detect melanoma early. Training is limited to large dermatology centers and is not being transferred to general centers, which would allow it to be more accessible to a larger group of dermatologists in training. There is also a need to make the learning of dermoscopy easier and to establish a universal method of teaching. Overall, there is a need for improvement in the education of dermoscopy, ranging from training to information on the basics of dermoscopy. This would include aspects such as how long the average examination takes and dermoscopy's effectiveness compared with alternate methods.
