Abstract:
Primary care providers and medical students often receive limited dermatologic education, leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment for patients with cutaneous conditions. Additionally, dermatology education has historically focused on light skin, neglecting skin of color, which exacerbates diagnostic delays and treatment disparities. The University of Utah's Eccles Health Sciences Library and Department of Dermatology, along with Oregon Health & Science University, developed Utah Dermatology Education Resources & Modules (UtahDERM) to address these educational gaps. UtahDERM features a custom-built slide-viewer platform with clinical dermatology images, diagnoses, clinical characteristics, and textbook references, along with a quick reference tool for core dermatology diagnoses.
