Physician assistants (PAs) are licensed to evaluate, diagnose, and treat dermatologic skin conditions. Data show that medical students have less than optimal dermatology diagnostic abilities. Although no known data exists for PA students, similar medical school and PA school training methods highlight a need for improved dermatology education in medical and PA programs. This project explored the use of perceptual and adaptive learning modules (PALMs) that target pattern recognition skills with PA students to hopefully improve PA knowledge of dermatology concepts.
