Response to: Dermatological content of U.K. undergraduate curricula: where are we now?

Abstract

We read with interest the report by Yaakub et al regarding undergraduate dermatology education in UK and Irish medical schools.¹ This reported that students at 25% of medical schools did not receive any dermatology education. A significant number of medical graduates progress to a career in general practice (25.8% of all 237,351 GMC registered doctors are GPs²). The prevalence estimate for skin conditions in GP consultations is 24%,³ but dermatology training is not compulsory within the GP curriculum.
