Ep 5 No Access Clinical Texting Among Medical Trainees of the University of British Columbia - a podcast by Canadian Dermatology Association

Editor-in-Chief, Dr Kirk Barber speaks with Dr Neil Kitson, a clinical dermatologist and Associate Professor in the Department of Dermatology and Science at the University of British Columbia about his and his co-authors' research into the use of cell phone text messages with clinical photos in medical practice, whether in rural or urban settings. They discuss the results of their research survey of medical practitioners about the actual use of text pictures. They talk through the potential advantages, such as facilitating consultations to physicians in remote or rural settings, as well as potential areas of concern, such as privacy protection.
