title: [Teledermatology in Midi-Pyrenees].
abstract: Telemedicine has become commonplace since the creation of the European Center of Telemedicine, and dermatology was a pioneering discipline in this new technology. The Division of Dermatology is now involved at three different levels--The Midi-Pyrénées regional network, which allows doctors in the private and public sectors to seek expert advice, in real time, from university hospital specialists.--He Division of Dermatology pioneered telemedicine sessions devoted to file review, histological/clinical diagnosis, and information exchanges among subspecialists in dermatology. Both French and foreign specialists attend these sessions.--Teaching, particularly for students and private practitioners. Telemedicine has clear benefits for patients, doctors and society as a whole. The private and hospital community of the Midi-Pyrénées region is constantly seeking to improve its health services, and ensures that all new approaches are subject to strict quality controls.
