The need to get much more ready for online dermatology education: a lesson from COVID-19 pandemic

The new coronavirus (SARS-COV2) pandemic has significantly affected dermatology as well as many other health professions both in the field of medical practice and education. Medical education has been dramatically affected and altered during the current pandemic situation regarding the need to consider social or better to say “physical” distancing as the main issue to control the virus spreading.
