title: Dermatology elective curriculum: Birdwatching list and travel guide.
abstract: Primary care physicians often see patients with dermatologic complaints, but do not perform as well as dermatologists in the diagnoses of common dermatologic conditions. This article describes a dermatology curriculum that aims to close the clinical practice gap by providing an efficient and effective way to teach dermatology to medical students and non-dermatology residents in the setting of a busy, outpatient dermatology practice.
