Practice prompts based on occupational tasks
These Applyace practice prompts use O*NET tasks for dermatologists. They are not reported employer questions. If you have not done a task, explain your approach and learning needs instead of inventing experience.
1. Conduct complete skin examinations.
Describe a real example of this task. What was your responsibility, and what happened?
2. Diagnose and treat pigmented lesions such as common acquired nevi, congenital nevi, dysplastic nevi, Spitz nevi, blue nevi, or melanoma.
How did you decide which approach or tools to use? Explain the tradeoffs.
3. Perform incisional biopsies to diagnose melanoma.
What could go wrong during this task? Describe how you would check your work.
4. Perform skin surgery to improve appearance, make early diagnoses, or control diseases such as skin cancer.
