This article focuses on a survey of undergraduate dermatological teaching, which was carried out as pan of a study on basic medical education in 1975-1976. Since then the number of students entering medical schools has increased and a number of dermatology departments have been heard to say that they have inadequate space, staff and suitable patients, and can no longer teach medical students in a manner and to a standard they would like. It seems to be generally agreed that the so-called minor specialists can take the extra undergraduate load less easily than the larger clinical and the preclinical departments.
