- Abstract
The field of psychodermatology, which explores the relationship between psychological factors and skin conditions, is an important area of study in medical education and clinical practice. However, healthcare professionals often lack confidence and training in managing psychocutaneous conditions. Studies have shown a high demand for continuing medical education (CME) programs focused on psychodermatology, and initiatives such as video mentoring and clinical skills lessons have shown promise in improving provider expertise and patient outcomes. Challenges in integrating psychodermatology into mainstream CME programs include resource scarcity and patient stigma, which can be addressed through innovative educational strategies and interdisciplinary collaboration. Expanding education in psychodermatology is crucial for providing personalized, patient-centered care.
