International Certificate of Dermatoscopy and Skin Cancer Medicine in Oxford
October 27 - October 28
| £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 in dermoscopy.
In day 1, we will start with the building blocks of dermatoscopic language, how to do a systematic skin examination then systematically discuss the fundamentals of dermatoscopic diagnosis of melanoma and non melanoma skin cancers, while being able to confidently exclude benign lesions using the TADA algorithm. Our symposium is designed with a carefully orchestrated educational process to ensure after day 1 you have a solid footing in dermatoscopy.
All participants will receive a complimentary Dermatoscope (worth £270 including VAT) if you register as Early Bird by the 31st May 2018.
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. Cliff co-authored both these algorithms which provide a logical framework to help answer the most important clinical question “does this lesion need removing?” By the completion of day 2, you will become proficient and will 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 31st May 2018.
