RE: Dermatology Week and Online Examination 

Link to UBC Division of Dermatology Online Tutorials

All students are encouraged to use self-directed study time to go through the different teaching modules that have been created.

As in previous years, the examination for the dermatology rotation will be held "online" via the Internet. Why have we done this?

1. An examination which tests visual diagnostic skills is a more accurate method of evaluation in dermatology
2. Allows for improved data collection
3. Allows the Division of Dermatology to more easily identify weaknesses in the undergraduate medical teaching curriculum
4. Makes the examination more interesting

The examination is as much a teaching tool, as it is an evaluation tool. You will be given instant online feedback after completing each module of the examination.

Most of you will already be familiar with the WebCT interface that the online exam uses.

What you need to do

1. The link to the online exam is at the end of these instructions. 
2. Your logon and password are the same as your Medicol logon and passwords.
3. The examination consists of 10 modules of 5 questions each (total = 50 questions) + one feedback section
4. You may bring course notes, books, etc. to the examination
5. You do not have to complete all ten modules in one session. You can work on the separate modules over your one week rotation. Note: Once you start a module, you must complete it!
