Medical students demonstrated significantly improved understanding of primary skin lesions after using silicone models. This tactile learning tool enhanced dermatology education during COVID-19 lockdowns and beyond.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology Education
  • Medical Simulation
  • Haptic Learning

Context:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated adaptations in medical education, including dermatology.
  • Lockdown phases and limited patient contact posed challenges to traditional clinical training.
  • Ensuring continuous medical education for students remained a priority.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of silicone models as a tactile learning tool for dermatology students.
  • To assess student understanding and self-assessment of primary dermatological lesions before and after using the models.
  • To investigate the impact of haptic learning experiences on medical education.

Summary:

  • A study involved 222 dermatology students at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich during the Winter Semester 2020/2021.

  • Students completed online surveys before and after receiving 3D-printed silicone models of primary lesions.
  • Analysis of 211-213 responses showed a statistically significant increase in student abilities and positive evaluations of the models, indicating improved understanding and learning.

    • Impact:

    • The study highlights the significant benefits of haptic learning experiences in dermatology education.
    • Silicone models proved to be a valuable tool for enhancing student comprehension of primary dermatological lesions.
    • The findings suggest that this method is beneficial not only during the COVID-19 pandemic but also for future pedagogical approaches in dermatology.
