September 14 @ 8:00 am - September 15 @ 5:00 pm
| £745 – £795International Certificate of Dermatoscopy and Skin Cancer Medicine
In our fully accredited and interactive dermatoscopy symposium, we take you from “zero to hero” in two days with our world class presenters. This symposium is designed as a comprehensive dermatoscopy course, aimed at beginners and intermediates in dermatoscopy.
We start with the building blocks of the dermatoscopic language, and then move onto how to do a systematic skin examination. The course will then show you how to determine what lesions need removing based on a “black and white” sequence of enquiries of your observations. The decision to excise or not is then followed by “how to make a specific diagnoses” for each benign and malignant lesion (nevus, solar lentigo, dermatofibroma, melanoma, SCC, BCC etc). The symposium is a carefully orchestrated educational process to ensure you develop a solid and safe footing in dermatoscopy for the safe clinical management of skin cancers. The course will include quizzes and many other opportunities to interact with your presenters.
Professor Cliff Rosendahl will introduce you to advanced applications of ‘Chaos and Clues’ and the ‘Prediction without Pigment’ algorithms. Cliff co-authored both these algorithms which provide a logical framework to help answer the most important clinical question “does this lesion need removing?” To date Cliff and Amanda have received close to 5/5 reviews by hundreds of GPs, surgeons and nurses. By the completion of day 2, we expect you to be proficient and feel inspired to start assessing your patients lesions with more accuracy and with more confidence.
All participants will receive a complimentary Dermatoscope (worth £270 including VAT) if you register as Early Bird by the 30th April 2019.
In day 2, we will consolidate your learnings from day 1. We will then add to and reinforce further insights to help improve your ability to diagnose melanomas, BCCs and SCCs with greater sensitivity and specificity. In day 2 Professor Cliff Rosendahl will introduce you to advanced applications of ‘Chaos and Clues’ and the ‘Prediction without Pigment’ algorithms.
