Background:
There is limited dermatologic training available for healthcare workers in Nepal.
Methods:
We visited a rural area of western Nepal to set up a pilot program of dermatologic teaching. This consisted of 2 days of interactive lectures, followed by 2 days of practical dermatology in the clinic.
Results:
After the theoretical training, the overall accuracy of the diagnoses made by the attendees was high at 79%. All trainees felt that the program had been useful. The most common conditions seen were eczema and skin infection.
Conclusion:
We aim to expand this dermatologic training program in western Nepal in the future.
