Exploring the application of the chronic disease management model in dermatology clinical teaching, using psoriasis as an example

There are many kinds of skin diseases, most of which are difficult to cure and prone to recurrence. The traditional teaching modes of dermatology often make it difficult for students to apply theoretical knowledge to clinical practice, with certain limitations. The chronic disease management model is a scientific approach in which medical professionals systematically and continuously manage patients with chronic diseases to improve their quality of life and treatment outcomes. This study uses psoriasis as an example, applying the chronic disease management model to clinical teaching in dermatology. It emphasizes that students should follow their teachers throughout the management of patients with chronic diseases, including initial diagnosis, disease assessment and record-keeping, selection of treatment plans, evaluation of efficacy and safety, comorbidity management, and the importance of health education. Through theoretical instruction, case discussions, and practical operations, students can strengthen their understanding of relevant professional knowledge, improve the chronic disease management model, and provide new methods for improving the effectiveness of clinical teaching in dermatology.
