Comment on: A Visual Literacy Course for Dermatology Trainees

S. Walsh, N. Gardham
We would like to congratulate Griffin and colleagues on their report of an innovative training programme in visual literacy for dermatology registrars (residents).1 Our experience of visual literacy training for registrars in South London resonates with that of the Manchester group, and we would like to add to this by describing our observation of some additional qualitative benefits which may be derived from such training. Training similar to that described by the Griffin et al was delivered to 10 dermatology registrars at the Dulwich Picture Gallery in London, England from September 2016 – January 2017 in 5 one hour sessions. Baseline and post-course assessments, scored on the unique accurate observations method described by Huang et al,2 were carried out and demonstrated an increase in the number of unique accurate observations per image following the course compared to pre-course assessment.
