Mission
Create a gold-standard educational tool to be used by dermatologists to help them identify joint disease while performing their routine pediatric skin examinations
Purpose
Pediatric skin disorders often have joint manifestations. Early intervention in joint disease is essential in prevention of disease progression to irreversible deforming changes
Problem
Dermatologists have the opportunity to screen for joint manifestations during routine skin exams, however most dermatologist are not confident in deciphering true joint disease
Solution
Thus, R-JET was created. In this video, Dr. Brian Nolan teaches us how to integrate R-JET into a routine pediatric skin examination
Gold-Standard
This educational tool combines the effectiveness of visualization, animations, audio, and texts to ensure dermatologists are able to remember the info/content
Outcome
The video was published in the Society for Pediatric Dermatology as well as the Pediatric Dermatology Journal. It is being used today as a standard educational tool for dermatologists across the nation
