A problem of being trainer and examiner of dermatology

Postgraduate training and assessment is a multifarious phenomenon for both trainers and trainees. This editorial aims to highlight the issue of lack of objectively defined curriculum1 with emphasis on learning objectives 2 for specific desired level i.e. MBBS, Diploma in Dermatology, MCPS, MD, and FCPS by a common competent authority i.e. Pakistan Medical and Dental Council, College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan, Higher Education Commission etc. It was experienced as a major problem by authors during supervision of MCPS and FCPS training and as examiners of MCPS, Dip Derm, MD and FCPS in dermatology.
