Mobile applications (apps) have been a growing part of medicine for the last decade. Our cross-sectional online survey studied the role of apps in dermatology resident training. The demographic results and response rate suggest that our study sample is representative of the target population of dermatology residents in America. Our survey highlights the increasing role of apps in dermatology resident training, differences in priorities among different years of residency, and differences in information utilization between sexes. This knowledge should help guide standardization, quality assurance, and formal integration of medical mobile apps into traditional dermatology teaching.
