3rd Annual Dermoscopy Fundamentals: Building a Strong Foundation for Resident Physicians The Beyer Skin Cancer Prevention & Control Initiative

About This Event

As part of The Beyer Skin Cancer Prevention & Control Initiative, we invite you to join us for a full day of intensive, structured, and comprehensive dermoscopy training designed to strengthen and expand your diagnostic skills.

This in-person course will feature expert dermatologist delivering high-yield lectures that guide participants from fundamental concepts to more advanced dermoscopic interpretation. The program is designed for all experience levels and will provide practical diagnostic tips, algorithm-based approaches, and real-world clinical pearls.

Topics will include pattern analysis and structured algorithms (TADA and the 2-step algorithm), as well as dermoscopy of special sites such as nails, hair, facial lesions on chronically sun-damaged skin, and inflammoscopy. The course aims to build confidence, clarity, and consistency in dermoscopic decision-making.

We warmly invite residents, physicians, and advanced practice providers to participate in this immersive educational experience.
