Dermoscopy Training Course Improves Ophthalmologists’ Accuracy in Diagnosing Atypical Pigmented Periorbital Skin Lesions
The ophthalmologists proved to be very receptive in quickly metabolizing and putting into practice the concepts learned during the one-day intensive dermoscopy training course. Indeed, after only a one-day lesson, they were able to increase their SE by 9% and to improve their management strategy. The present findings highlight the importance of providing training ophthalmologists in dermoscopy during residency programs, in terms of benefits for the correct patient care.
