摘要：
Background There is limited dermatologic training available for healthcare workers in Nepal. Methods We visited a rural area of western Nepal to set up a pilot program of dermatologic teaching. This consisted of 2 days of interactive lectures, followed by 2 days of practical dermatology in the clinic. Results After the theoretical training, the overall accuracy of the diagnoses made by the attendees was high at 79%. All trainees felt that the program had been useful. The most common conditions seen were eczema and skin infection. Conclusion We aim to expand this dermatologic training program in western Nepal in the future.
