Virtual Grand Rounds in Dermatology: an 8‐year experience in web‐based teledermatology

Background Teledermatology utilizes telecommunication technologies for the exchange of dermatologic information across distances. In 2000, we developed the Virtual Grand Rounds in Dermatology (VGRD) as a free, user‐friendly platform for dermatologists to present complex dermatologic cases to the international community for clinical feedback, consultation, and continuing education. Methods VGRD was designed using simple graphics to facilitate access in remote and developing geographic regions. Members present their case according to a recommended template and are encouraged to provide clinical and histopathologic photographs. Viewers’ comments are posted on the site within 24–48 h following receipt. Results VGRD's low‐cost store‐and‐forward system allows easy accessibility to expertise for colleagues around the world. VGRD currently comprises a community of 344 clinicians across all dermatologic subspecialties, and links users to cases as well as a recent interactive addition for more urgent feedback: VGRD Blog. The Maine Virtual Skin Clinic is another sister site developed as an educational tool for physicians and residents in primary care. VGRD can be found at http://www.vgrd.org . Conclusions With its easy‐to‐use platform for teleconsultation services, VGRD has the potential to enhance clinical outcomes and education. In the next few years, we hope to continue to expand VGRD, including launching a comprehensive search engine in VGRD to provide users with a “one‐stop resource.” With the growth of teledermatology, we will combine web consultations with web‐based education into a single resource for dermatologists interested in new possibilities in clinical practice, patient care, and continuing education.     

Teaching & Learning Tips 10: Interspecialty teaching through inpatient dermatology consults

Medical students and residents often have little experience in placing or responding to dermatologic consults in the inpatient setting when they first begin training. Trainees often learn what and how to communicate through observation or trial and error. We propose that dermatologists can play an active role in facilitating interspecialty education and improving patient outcomes by teaching in a systematic fashion.     

Dermatologist transitions: Academics into private practices and vice versa

National experience demonstrates that most physicians will undergo a job change within the first few years of practice. Due to shifting payment models, personal preferences, and financial burden, among other factors, job transitions between private practice and academic medicine are expected. With the rising shortage of dermatologists and an increase in demand for dermatologic services, this particular topic is salient due to the impact on patient care, graduate medical education, and advances in research and medicine. The balance between these elements is fundamental for the future of dermatologic education and care. We address the challenges faced by dermatologists in both the academic and private practice settings, while offering insight into the motivations and barriers in the transition between the two.     

Dermatologic Services Provided to Children and Adolescents by Primary Care and Other Physicians in the United States

Abstract: To determine the frequency and types of pediatric dermatologic problems encountered by primary care physicians, dermatologists, and other physicians, we examined data from the 1990 National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, a continuing study of physician practice in the United States. In 1990, 163·3 million physician office visits were made by patients 18 years of age or younger for all diagnoses; of these, 126·2 million were to primary care physicians. Among visits to these providers, a primary, secondary, or tertiary cutaneous concern or diagnosis was recorded in 12·3 million visits (9·7%). Of these patients with a primary cutaneous concern, 68% of visits were made to primary care physicians, 21% to dermatologists, and 10% to other physicians. For encounters in which primary care physicians reported a primary dermatologic diagnosis (9·6 million visits, 7·6%), the majority of diagnoses (86–93%) were in one of five categories: skin Infections, dermatitis, parasitic infestations, acne, or urticaria. This analysis demonstrates the great frequency with which cutaneous disease occurs in ambulatory medicine, and reinforces the Importance of dermatologic education in the training of primary care physicians.     

Role of the dermatologist in the delivery of dermatologic care

Dermatology faces an uncertain future because of changes in the mechanisms of health care delivery. The Westwood-Squibb Center for Dermatology Research was created to foster the care of patients through research and education that supports the delivery of optimal dermatologic health care. The center performs health care research to effect policy decisions that impact dermatologic health care delivery. Results from a broad range of these studies clearly demonstrate the value of dermatologists as primary care providers for patients with skin disease. Future studies at the Westwood-Squibb Center for Dermatology Research expand on these findings, demonstrate the cost-effectiveness of care by a dermatologist, and address the expertise of dermatologists at management of surgical problems of the skin.     

Pediatric teledermatology--a survey of current use

Abstract:  Demand for pediatric dermatologic care far exceeds the supply of pediatric dermatologists. Teledermatology has been proposed as a solution to improve access to care, however, data regarding teledermatology use for pediatric patients are lacking. Surveys assessing use and experience with teledermatology were administered to pediatric dermatologists attending the 2006 Society for Pediatric Dermatology Annual Meeting and to programs offering teledermatology identified in the American Telemedicine Association's 2003 Teledermatology Survey. Over half of the 76 pediatric dermatologists responding to the survey had previous experience with teledermatology and nearly half currently use some form of teledermatology. For most, this represents nonreimbursed, store-and-forward consultations. Respondents noted that teledermatology allows more accurate triage of dermatology patients, decreases travel and outpatient clinic visits, and provides an avenue for ongoing support and education for primary care physicians. While difficulties exist, overcoming obstacles to the use of pediatric teledermatology and reimbursement for such services could improve access to expert pediatric dermatologic care.     

Use of the Internet among dermatologists in the United Kingdom,Sweden and Norway

The Internet is increasingly important for doctors in all branches of medicine, but to what extent it is used by dermatologists is not known. In May 2001, we sent a questionnaire by post to 1,291 members of the dermatological societies of the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Norway. Six hundred fifty-three (51%) responded. Excluding those from retired doctors and non-dermatologists, 522 questionnaires were available for analysis. Ninety-five percent of the respondents had access to the Internet, at work (77%) and/or at home (83%). Seventy-nine percent used the world wide web for medical updating and other professional purposes. In a multivariate logistic regression analysis, age and private practice were negative predictors for Internet use (p<0.001). Sixty-two percent found medical databases on the Internet and 25% believed the Internet version of medical journals to be important for their continuing medical education. This may be compared to those who found medical journals on paper(83%), medical meetings(81%), and various forms of contact with peers and colleagues(62-66%) to be so. This study shows that a large proportion of dermatologists, especially younger doctors, use the Internet for medical and educational purposes, but Internet use has not yet replaced traditional ways of obtaining continuing medical education.     

International exchange programs in dermatology: a prescription for the present, a hope for the future

Little has been written about the various types and availability of international exchange programs in dermatology. These opportunities comprise medical student electives, mentorships for dermatology residents, international residencies, and clinical and research fellowships. For qualified dermatologists, there are opportunities for teaching and volunteering in emerging countries and career-development visiting fellowships to academic centers and private practices to learn specific techniques or to focus on particular areas. Exchange programs in dermatology, although minimal now, soon may be accessible to most dermatologists worldwide, thereby promoting the advancement of scientific and clinical dermatologic information. The tables summarize funding sources for these exchanges.     

The dermatology-industry interface: defining the boundaries

Support from industry has become an important factor in the growth of the dermatologic profession. However, the relationship creates inevitable conflicts of interest. This article explores these potential conflicts, including (1) giving and receiving of gifts, (2) conduct of clinical trials, (3) appearance of advertisements in professional journals, (4) continuing medical education programs and educational grants to societies and departments, and (5) drug sampling.     

Reducing professional isolation: Support Scheme for Rural Specialists

The Support Scheme for Rural Specialists project is a federally funded initiative aimed at reducing professional isolation among rural medical specialists. The Australasian College of Dermatologists became involved in this project in July 2003. We report the results of a survey designed to collect demographic data and establish a technology option for remote delivery of metropolitan clinical meetings. These are a major component of continuing professional development activity among metropolitan colleagues. An interactive compact disk format was developed, containing recorded footage and presentation slides from meetings, which replicated attendance as closely as possible. Following distribution to rural dermatologists, continuing professional development points were awarded for viewing and appraising the 'virtual' meeting on compact disk. Evaluation of the technology found a statistically significant increase in continuing professional development involvement. The success of this project has led to its expansion, refinement and continuation in 2004.
