Abstract

<i>To the Editor:</i> Teledermatology may serve as a platform for the education of dermatology residents.<sup>–</sup> Few studies have measured diagnostic<sup>–</sup> and management concordance between residents evaluating patients in-person and attending dermatologists supervising residents via teledermatology. We report diagnostic and management concordance between resident and attending dermatologists responding to store-and-forward teledermatology consults submitted by primary care providers and discuss implications for resident education.
