11th Annual Practical Course in Dermoscopy & Update on Malignant Melanoma 2016
Course Directors: James W. Jakub, M.D., Aaron Mangold, M.D., David L. Swanson, M.D.
This three-day course will provide the attendee with a multidisciplinary review of standard of care management practices and state-of-the-art advances in care of the patient with cutaneous melanoma. Topics will focus on epidemiology, prevention, pathology, surgical treatment and advances in genomics and systemic therapy for patients with melanoma.
Sessions also include an in-depth immersion into dermoscopy for imaging of melanocytic and nonmelanocytic skin lesions, including breakout sessions. 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, NPs/PAs and residents with a focus on this field will find it valuable as well. The intended audience is dermatologists, surgeons, oncologists, physicians in internal medicine, family practice, and general practice.
