dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Dermatologists see many patients with nail disorders requiring surgical interventions. However, nail surgery is often found to be difficult by dermatologists. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an integrated nail surgery course. Methods: A nail surgery course model, combining anatomy, pathology, and dermatology with theoretical lectures and hands-on training on fresh-frozen cadaver, was designed for dermatologists. Before and after the course, the participants were asked to complete a questionnaire in which they assessed their knowledge and competence levels. Results: Twenty-eight dermatologists completed the questionnaires. The majority of the dermatologists (79.6%) had limited nail surgery experience, previously. The most commonly cited reasons for lack of knowledge or low or moderate theoretical and/or practical level of knowledge of nail surgery were not having received theoretical and practical education during dermatology residency. The median scores of self-assessed knowledge and competency improved significantly after the course (p < 0.001). The majority (82.1%) of the participants were quite or very well satisfied. Conclusion: An integrative nail surgery course model seems beneficial and encouraging for dermatologists. Organizing this type of nail surgery course, especially in medical schools using fresh-frozen cadavers, may significantly improve dermatologists' knowledge and skills.en_US
