Eilís Nic Dhonncha, Margaret Murphy
Abstract
Covid-19 has resulted in unprecedented global disruption. As this global pandemic persists with no end in sight, we must not ignore its impact on undergraduate medical education. Dermatology undergraduate exposure is variable, limited and often suboptimal. It has been shown that medical students and qualified doctors are not adequately confident in their ability to assess and manage skin conditions, and many feel that their undergraduate dermatology teaching was not satisfactory.
