摘要：
Seventeen general practitioners (GPs) were evaluated to assess their ability to recognize malignant, borderline and benign skin lesions before and after a novel, cheap and quick skin cancer educational programme. They were tested without prior warning on two occasions using two sets of 30 clinical slides. Between each test the GPs were given a lecture based on an illustrated booklet of similar lesions. The results showed an improvement in the GPs' diagnostic skills (P<0.05), but nevertheless a wide variation in diagnostic ability between GPs remained. Our study highlights a simple, effective and inexpensive method for teaching GPs the diagnostic clinical features of skin cancer. Further work is needed to improve their diagnostic accuracy in the long term.
