Family physicians are interested in performing excisional skin tumor (EST) procedures, but current practice is low. Residency directors show interest in EST training, yet curriculum inclusion remains uncertain.

Area of Science:

  • Primary care medicine
  • Family medicine

Background:

  • Excisional skin tumor (EST) procedures are frequently indicated in primary care.
  • Currently, few family physicians incorporate EST into their office-based practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the interest of US family practice residency directors in EST procedures.
  • To understand the perceived need for EST training within family medicine curricula.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was distributed to US family practice residency directors.
  • Data on current practice and training interest were collected and analyzed.

Main Results:

  • A significant interest in performing EST procedures was reported by residency directors.
  • Despite this interest, there is noted ambivalence regarding the necessity of formal EST training in residency programs.

Conclusions:

  • Family physicians are well-suited for EST procedures, indicating a potential gap between suitability and current practice.
  • Further discussion is needed to address the ambivalence surrounding EST training in family medicine curricula to align training with physician interest and patient needs.
