Instructional Strategies to Enhance Dermoscopic Image Interpretation Education: a Review of the Literature.

Introduction: In image interpretation education, many educators have shifted away from traditional methods that involve passive instruction and fragmented learning to interactive ones that promote active engagement and integrated knowledge. By training pattern recognition skills in an effective manner, these interactive approaches provide a promising direction for dermoscopy education.

Objectives: A narrative review of the literature was performed to probe emerging directions in medical image interpretation education that may support dermoscopy education.

Theory-Based Approaches to Support Dermoscopic Image Interpretation Education: A Review of the Literature.

Introduction: Efficient interpretation of dermoscopic images relies on pattern recognition, and the development of expert-level proficiency typically requires extensive training and years of practice. While traditional methods of transferring knowledge have proven effective, technological advances may significantly improve upon these strategies and better equip dermoscopy learners with the pattern recognition skills required for real-world practice.
