Introduction to dermoscopy: All you wanted to know but were afraid to ask – Melbourne

In-person 18 Jul, 12:30 PM - 5:00 PM (AEDT)

Expand your knowledge in the use of dermoscopy in the diagnosis and monitoring of skin lesions.

Dermoscopy is a highly valuable tool for general practitioners in the day to day evaluation of skin lesions. This workshop provides an introduction and overview of dermoscopy, its benefits and abilities in diagnosing and monitoring skin lesions in general practice. It will provide participants with a firm foundation of knowledge about the skills of dermoscopy and exposure to the ways of identifying structures and types of skin lesion using dermoscopy and the ability to understand the language used in describing skin lesions as seen using dermoscopy.

This workshop is not a compulsory requirement to complete the Certificate of Primary Care Dermatology.

Presenter

Dr Alan Cameron

For the last 15 years, Alan has practiced full time in skin cancer, in a general practice in the Brisbane suburbs. Alan is passionate about improving the quality of primary care skin cancer practice both by improving diagnostic methods and reaching as many practitioners as possible. He has lectured at every level, from small local groups of GPs all the way to invited presentations at the largest international dermatoscopy conference. Alan likes to think he is making dermatoscopy more accessible for the beginner, and more powerful for those who already have some expertise. He is a co-author of Harald Kittler’s textbook of dermatoscopy, and around 25 peer reviewed papers, including the Chaos and Clues, and Prediction Without Pigment algorithms.
