Medical Student Conference Details

December 2-4, 2011

Scottsdale, Arizona 85259, United States

This course is designed for dermatologists, surgeons, oncologists, physicians in internal medicine, family practice and general practice. The first day will focus on epidemiology, prevention, pathology, genetic syndromes, advances in genomics, imaging and medical and surgical treatment in association with melanoma. The last two days are an in-depth immersion into Dermoscopy for imaging of melanocytic and non-melanocytic skin lesions. Participants will develop practical skills that will enable them to be more comfortable approaching patients with atypical skin lesions. This dermoscopy section is primarily targeted to clinicians, but educators and residents will find it valuable as a springboard to develop Dermoscopy training programs.
