The main method of skin cancer detection is direct examination of the skin by a trained professional. There is a shortage of dermatologists, a situation that could influence timely diagnosis and management of skin cancer. Teledermatology and teledermoscopy could overcome some of these barriers. To develop training programs we need to understand how dermatologists view digital skin images. Two dermatologists and 4 residents viewed 20 photographs and dermatoscopic images of benign and malignant lesions while eye position was recorded. They then completed an online training course and returned to repeat the cases. There were some differences in search and diagnoses although more as a function of experience than the online course. Further work is needed but we can characterize visual search in teledermatology settings.
