Overview:
All residency program directors from Pediatrics residency programs in the United States will be invited to participate in a survey study. The survey study will include questions regarding specifics of the residency program (number of residents/year, location (urban vs. rural)), as well as specifics regarding access to Dermatologists as well as Pediatric Dermatologists within the community for patient referrals, ability for residents to participate in a dermatology elective, number of lectures/year that are dermatology focused, etc. The survey will also ask program directors whether or not they think their programs would benefit from a standardized dermatology curriculum geared towards primary care providers, and in what formats/platforms they think would be most utilized and effective.
