description | Certain aspects of medical education have transitioned to virtual platforms since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. This commentary explores advantages and barriers to teledermatology in medical education, which has the potential to reach an extensive pool of learners and preceptors but may be limited by logistical and security considerations of a virtual platform. Dermatology in particular lends itself to an online platform as a highly visual specialty, although clinical exam would be highly dependent on quality of images captured. With teledermatology, learners can begin developing an approach to delivering care remotely, and becoming accustomed to virtual platforms. |
