International Dermoscopy Master Class
We are extremely pleased to have Professors Giuseppe Argenziano, Iris
Zalaudek, Harald Kittler and Luc Thomas involved in the 2009
International Dermoscopy Master Class. They have the skills and
experience to enhance and accelerate your existing skill level during
the four day intensive program.
The program has been designed for optimal learning and follows the
format of keynote lectures, quiz sessions, case studies and small group
tutorials with the use of interactive audience responders. The course is
restricted to 75 participants and is expected to fill quickly.
Who should attend?
GPs with a special interest in skin cancer medicine or skin cancer doctors seeking to develop their diagnostic skills in a small group learning environment.
Additional Activities included in the Master Class
The social program will feature a unique opportunity to get “up close and personal” with the international experts. The planned activities include Welcome Drinks on the first evening and the Master Class Official Dinner.
Delegates who complete this Master Class will be awarded the SCCANZ
“Certificate of Advanced Clinical Dermoscopy”.
