Introduction
It is our pleasure at Skin Cancer Symposiums to bring you Professor Cliff Rosendahl from the University of Queensland, Australia and Associate Professor Amanda Oakley from the University of Auckland, New Zealand.
As doctors, we are often the first and sometimes the only ones to see our patient’s skin. But we have little training and hence most of us, little confidence in confidently diagnosing skin lesions. How can we improve our confidence? The best way, without a doubt, is with training in dermatoscopy which will help you recognise skin cancers earlier and with greater precision.
Traditional dermatoscopy courses have been complicated and difficult to follow due to the teaching of numerous complex algorithms at the same time. Skin Cancer Symposiums has created a simplified approach using what is increasingly recognised as the two most user-friendly algorithms (one for pigmented lesions and one for non-pigmented lesions) to deliver a unique world-class teaching event. Professor Cliff Rosendahl, the co-author of 'Chaos and Clues' and 'Pigment without Prediction', breaks down dermatoscopy teaching into simple, easy to follow algorithms.
Professor Amanda Oakley, the founder of the world-famous dermatology resource Dermnet will be adding to Cliff’s insights.
In addition, Dr Chris Boberg and Dr Andrew MacGill will provide practical talks on the day to day application of dermatoscopy.
The interactive presentations take you through a sequence of 'black and white' enquiries of your observations to help you determine if a lesion is benign or malignant. The decision to excise or not is then followed by 'how to make a specific diagnosis' for each benign and malignant lesion (nevus, solar lentigo, dermatofibroma, melanoma, SCC, BCC etc).
The Certificate in Advanced Dermatoscopy is a carefully orchestrated educational process that ensures you develop a solid footing in dermatoscopy for the safe clinical management of skin cancers.
This unique course is highly rated and runs in London, Oxford, Cambridge, Manchester, Stockholm, Melbourne, and Auckland with over 1000 participants to date (GP, surgeons, dermatologists and nurses) giving close to 5/5 reviews.
Course Features
Revolutionary dermatoscopy learning process – learn from the originator of the 'Chaos and Clues' and the 'Prediction without Pigment' algorithm which makes learning dermatoscopy easy, effective and practical.
Fully accreditated - by the RNZCGP for 25 CME credits for CPD purposes. It is approved as an approved conference up to $590 for GPEP 1 registrars.
Live/hybrid/virtual - All our live conferences are designed so that even if you are sick, isolating with COVID, need to leave early - we got you covered. Our courses are live-streamed and available to view for 7 days after each conference.
Highest quality teaching - our courses are rated 4.8/5 on Trustpilot with over 237 reviews. Learn from the best Professors in an engaging, fun and interactive experience.
Masters level pre-reading – Professor Cliff Rosendahl has kindly offered Chapter 7 of the IMED7001 course at the University of Queensland Masters Programme as pre-reading for the course, so you can start improving your dermatoscopy knowledge from day 1!
Interactive teaching – We will provide lots of examples, quizzes and repetition to help reinforce key points. We will allow plenty of time during the conference to take audience questions.

CME Credits: The Certificate of Advanced Dermatoscopy activity has been endorsed by The Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners (RNZCGP) and has been approved for up to 25 CME credits for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) purposes.
Complimentary Molescope II
Our primary focus is to reduce global morbidity and mortality from skin cancer. We have partnered with MetaOptima so we can offer every student of our dermatoscopy courses a free Molescope II Digital Dermatoscope from MetaOptima (worth $449 NZD / £227 / $449 AUD / $325 USD). This will allow every clinician to make use of the teaching immediately without cost of equipment as a barrier.
Complimentary 'Dermatoscopy and Skin Cancer' handbook
Dermatoscopy and Skin Cancer is a handbook to help dermatologists, dermatoscopists and GPs easily differentiate between benign and malignant tumours, leading to fewer unnecessary biopsies and earlier treatment of cancers. Based around two easy to follow algorithms, Chaos and Clues and Pigment without Prediction, the book shows all dermatoscope users how to confidently diagnose skin lesions earlier and with greater precision. (Worth $120).
