Register nowIntroduction
The Certificate of Dermatoscopy online course is aimed at beginners to intermediates in the field of dermatoscopy and skin cancer. It is based on our highly rated and popular in-person courses attended by thousands of doctors, surgeons and nurses previously held in Oxford, London, Melbourne and Auckland, New Zealand rated 4.7/5 on Trustpilot (UK) or 4.7/5 Trustpilot (NZ).
You need an excellent foundation to confidently use your dermatoscope. Professor Cliff Rosendahl (University of Queensland, Australia) and Associate Professor Amanda Oakley (University of Auckland, New Zealand and the founder of Dermnet) together will ensure you have a confident feel for the basics of dermatoscopy. They will cover the basics of the various dermatoscopic instruments, the language used, the fundamental dermatoscopic features of common benign lesions and the use of ‘Chaos and Clues’ and 'Prediction without Pigment' which are algorithms co-founded by Professor Cliff Rosendahl.
They both provide a safe way to decide which lesions can be left and which require excising (this is achieved without needing to diagnose exactly what the lesion is). The algorithms are presented in a simple and easy to follow way with plenty of examples and repetition. Associate Professor Amanda Oakley will then expertly guide you through the fundamentals of diagnosing benign lesions. On completion of the online course, you will have a strong understanding of the fundamentals of dermatoscopy and how it will help you diagnose and manage the lesion in front of you.
All participants will receive a free Molescope II dermatoscope (worth $449 NZD) with a Universal Adaptor that can be used with all mobile phones.
This course has been approved by the Royal NZ College of GPs for reimbursement as an approved ‘Conference’ (up to $590 including GST) for GPEP 1 registrars.
