The curricular content in medical education needs continuous development and therefore must regularly undergo a critical evaluation. Here, the author describes an implemented shift in the teaching substance of an undergraduate dermatology course aimed to focus on relevance and practicability for general practitioners. The changes were based on a comprehensive nationwide database analysis of the spectrum of skin‐related conditions seen in primary care.
