Dermland is an innovative
electronic reference application for resident physicians, that
is optimized to be viewed on handheld computers. Its platform
supports and nurtures an information-sharing network of volunteer
dermatology residents, allowing them to gain access to the latest
clinical information.
In the past decade, technology has certainly changed the way
things are done within the field of Dermatology. What is surprising
is that very few of these technological breakthroughs have been
used to improve the educational process of resident Dermatologists.
Dermland is what they have been waiting for!
 "Being
a Dermatology resident can be a challenging experience. We know
this firsthand and wanted to create a tool that would help current
and future residents gain access to concise, meaningful information"
explained Dr. Bhatia, co-founder of derm.md. "By providing
this information in a portable user-friendly vehicle, we hope
to alleviate some of the frustrations that we experienced ourselves."
The potential for this resident author-based resource in the
Dermatology community is considerable. "It is this [resident]
participation, which can grow exponentially, that will make
this tool so indispensable," said Dr. Munavalli. "We
are hoping that every Dermatology resident will log-on to learn
more about Dermland. It's a volunteer information-sharing network
and we are simply providing the platform to allow this activity
to occur. We're relying on the residents to provide referenced
information" that will not only help other trainees, but
is bound to help their own educational needs soon in the future.
