Skin Cancer Conference
The 2009 Skin Cancer Conference program is designed to maximise your learning outcomes. This three day event features International and Australasian speakers who are highly qualified and represent the best in their area of expertise.
Innovations this year include general dermatology, cosmetics and business management related presentations with a greater emphasis on surgery and including multiple hands-on workshop sessions at different skill levels.
We have developed the first skin education program designed to provide a customisable learning program that is coupled with keynote lectures from the world experts. A series of three concurrent Breakout Sessions will offer a selection of basic to advanced learning modules covering skin cancer analysis and diagnosis, dermoscopy, microscopy, surgery and business. Sessions are designed to be informative and challenging. They range from novice to advanced levels of understanding.
Who should attend?
Generalist GPs and skin cancer clinic doctors, GPs interested in the latest research and techniques to help them increase their clinical efficiencies and productivity.
