Dermland is an innovative electronic reference application
for resident physicians, that is optimized to be viewed on handheld
computers. Its platform supports and nurtures an information-sharing
network of volunteer dermatology residents, allowing them to gain
access to the latest clinical information.
In the past decade, technology has certainly changed the way things
are done within the field of Dermatology. What is surprising is that
very few of these technological breakthroughs have been used to improve
the educational process of resident Dermatologists. Dermland is what
they have been waiting for!
"Being
a Dermatology resident can be a challenging experience. We know this
firsthand and wanted to create a tool that would help current and
future residents gain access to concise, meaningful information"
explained Dr. Bhatia, co-founder of derm.md. "By providing this
information in a portable user-friendly vehicle, we hope to alleviate
some of the frustrations that we experienced ourselves." The
potential for this resident author-based resource in the Dermatology
community is considerable. "It is this [resident] participation,
which can grow exponentially, that will make this tool so indispensable,"
said Dr. Munavalli. "We are hoping that every Dermatology resident
will log-on to learn more about Dermland. It's a volunteer information-sharing
network and we are simply providing the platform to allow this activity
to occur. We're relying on the residents to provide referenced information"
that will not only help other trainees, but is bound to help their
own educational needs soon in the future.
Portable Reference Application
"essential information at the fingertips of every resident dermatologist"
This tool offers each user the unique opportunity to share his own
