Immune Response in Allergic Contact Dermatitis: An Integrated Learning Module.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Medical students are introduced to skin rashes during their preclinical years and often express difficulty in differentiating the underlying mechanisms. The preclinical lessons regarding immunologically mediated skin rashes are largely forgotten by the time the students begin diagnosing and treating skin rashes during clinical rotations. This module aims to enhance student understanding of immunologic concepts by integrating material across disciplines, contextualizing within a clinical scenario, and providing opportunity for self-testing.

Methods

A diagram illustrating immune responses in allergic contact dermatitis was used in the Texas Tech University Paul L. Foster School of Medicine preclinical curriculum. This diagram was updated as an audiovisual learning
