GPs are invited to join our dermoscopy workshop hosted by Melanoma Institute Australia.
Dermoscopy is an invaluable tool for GPs, offering a detailed assessment of skin lesions in everyday practice.
In this informative half-day session, we provide an introduction to dermoscopy, highlighting its essential role in diagnosing and monitoring melanoma and other skin lesions within the context of general practice.
Participants will build confidence by gaining foundational knowledge and practical skills in identifying structures and distinguishing skin lesions, including melanoma, through the “Chaos and clues” algorithm. Case studies will also be presented.
As understanding dermatopathology is fundamentally important in comprehending dermoscopy, our workshop will also integrate essential aspects of dermatopathology, enriching participants’ knowledge and enhancing their ability to interpret dermoscopic findings effectively.
Join us to develop your understanding and refine your capabilities in dermoscopy, contributing to more effective melanoma detection and monitoring in clinical practice.
Learning outcomes:
- Explain the process and benefits for evaluating skin lesions under dermoscopy in general practice.
- Recognise the different clues to melanoma using dermoscopy.
- Describe dermoscopic features of skin lesions using the ‘Chaos and clues’ algorithm.
- Understand the importance of dermoscopic histopathological correlation
