Importance Lack of training hampers melanoma recognition by physicians.
Objective To evaluate a melanoma simulation model to teach visual assessment and counseling skills.
Design and Setting Simulation model study in an academic research setting.
Participants A convenience sample of third-year medical students was randomly assigned to receive the intervention before or after a standardized patient.
Intervention During the primary care clerkship, medical students participated in melanoma skills training using 2 simulation models replicating melanomas and abnormal or benign nevi. Scoring threshold rules for visual assessment and management of pigmented lesions and videos of patient counseling were provided.
