The Specialty Training Curriculum for Dermatology
The purpose of the curriculum is to define the process of training and the competencies needed for the award of a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) in Dermatology. The curriculum delivers the acquisition of all competencies required for a Consultant Dermatologist practising in the National Health Service in the UK.
Although the Specialty Training Curriculum is competency-based, the duration of training must meet the European minimum of four years for full-time specialty training adjusted accordingly for flexible training.
Specialty Certificate Examination (SCE) in Dermatology
The BAD, in partnership with the Federation of Royal Colleges of Physicians of the UK has embarked upon a programme to deliver the Specialty Certificate Examination in Dermatology.
The Specialty Certificate Examination (SCE) is a compulsory component of assessment for Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) for all UK trainees whose specialist training in Dermatology began in or after August 2007. The examination complements workplace-based assessments and ensures that trainees have sufficient knowledge to practice safely and competently as consultants. The first SCE in Dermatology took place in September 2009.
