A Structured Intervention for Medical Students Significantly Improves Awareness of Stigmatisation in Visible Chronic Skin Diseases: A Randomised Controlled Trial.

People with visible skin diseases often experience stigmatisation. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a new intervention for medical students to counter the stigmatisation of people with skin diseases. The intervention was evaluated using a randomised controlled design.

Effectiveness of a structured short intervention against stigmatisation in chronic visible skin diseases: Results of a controlled trial in future educators.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured short intervention in reducing stigmatising attitudes towards psoriasis in future educators.

From the (skin) doctor's office to the lecture hall: An innovative, practice-oriented, media-supported teaching project with supra-regional interdisciplinary usage options.

Background: The transfer of practical knowledge and skills is the focus of modern medical teaching (master plan medical studies 2020). The aim of the teaching project is to provide medical students with important dermatological learning goals and contents by using innovative methods.

Methods: As part of a teaching project funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) at the Department of Dermatology, University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein in Kiel, various new, partly media-supported teaching modules were developed in addition to curricular teaching and optimized by regular acceptance evaluations during the development process.
