Assessment of a blog as a medium for dermatology education.
Our first year experience with the use of a web log as a communication tool for our dermatology interest group at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston (UTMB) is described. We find the UTMB Dermatology Interest Group Blog facilitates educational opportunities and serves as a dermatology resource for medical students, and improves communication. It is an educational innovation that could be adopted by other dermatology departments.
