    TLDR New evaluation tools are needed for better surgical training in dermatology residency programs.
    The document from 2016 discusses the need for improved assessment methods in dermatology resident surgical training due to variability in training programs and the importance of ensuring competency for patient safety. It reviews new methods like the Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skill (OSATS), simulation, and learning assessments, and notes the need for further evaluation of these tools in dermatologic surgery. A study by Reichel et al. is mentioned, which surveyed 71 dermatology programs and found most had a formal surgical curriculum with hands-on training, but the evaluation methods lacked reliability and objectivity. The document also explores the potential of simulation, serious games, and assessing learning styles to optimize training. It concludes that standardized and reliable skill evaluation tools are necessary for quality patient care and professional growth in dermatology residency programs.

      Finasteride and dutasteride can improve skin texture and reduce acne by lowering DHT but do not reverse aging. They may enhance skin and hair health for some, but can also cause side effects like dry skin and sexual dysfunction.
