Article Synopsis
- Physician assistants (PAs) play a key role in dermatologic care, and understanding skin of color (SOC) is essential for proper diagnosis and treatment.
- A study involving 36 PA students assessed their knowledge and confidence in diagnosing dermatologic conditions before and after a SOC lecture, using surveys and a multiple-choice exam.
- Results showed improved diagnostic accuracy (from 59.4% to 76.9%) and increased confidence (from 2.97 to 3.52 on a scale of 1 to 5) following the lecture, highlighting its effectiveness.
