Teledermatology for skin cancer screening in rural Georgia utilizing teledermoscopy and distance learning: An ongoing report
Summary. Rural Georgia faces severe shortages of dermatologists, limiting skin cancer screening access. Researchers deployed teledermatology combined with teledermoscopy and distance learning to train primary care providers in skin lesion evaluation. This approach enables timely expert assessment, prioritizes specialist referrals for suspicious lesions, and reassures patients with benign findings while building provider confidence in cancer screening.
