Abstract

The COVID pandemic inherently impacts clinical activity in Dermatological practices throughout all sectors. Under these circumstances, our service has implemented teledermatology in order to act both as a filter for reducing in-hospital admittance or face-to-face interactions, and as a straightforward solution to solve the issues faced by patients and family doctors within our area. Live consultations rely on the resident physician's capacity to take a detailed patient history in the limited time allotted, while the subsequent case-discussion with the leading-physician has good didactic value. The establishment of a quality international collaboration through teledermatology would further facilitate a more accurate and faster diagnosis, even for patients traveling for business or tourism.

Keywords: COVID-19; dermatology; research tool; residency training; resident training; teledermatology.
