CONCLUSIONS: Both online and offline education can be used in dermatology theory teaching, but online education is less efficient in skin lesion and practical skills learning. More online teaching software with skin diseases characteristic should be
CONCLUSIONS: Our method demonstrates an improved procedure for developing BNs via expert elicitation, which other teams can implement to model emergent complex phenomena. Our results have three anticipated applications: (i) freely disseminating
