In this letter, we highlight the considerable diversity in undergraduate dermatology training in the United Kingdom and acknowledge the barriers faced in implementing the revised national undergraduate curriculum provided by the British Association of Dermatologists (BAD). We provide a pragmatic approach of ensuring that our dermatology placement aligns with the BAD national undergraduate curriculum and Medical Licensing Assessment (MLA) content map, in the face of limited clinician time and placement length. We urge other medical schools to adopt our approach of curriculum mapping, particularly in light of the upcoming MLA, and sustainable educational resource development.
