Frequently Asked Questions
 

  • What is a Weekend Refresher Course in Dermatology?

• Our weekend courses are designed for General Practitioners to refresh their theoretical and practical Dermatology skills and learn about the latest research and surgery techniques.
• Groups are limited to 20 participants and embrace a very practical, hands-on approach to learning.
• The two-day courses typically begin with an introductory lecture and participants then break into smaller groups for further lectures, case studies and practical surgery demonstrations.
• Recent Weekend Courses in the Yarra Valley Victoria, Coffs Harbour and Tasmania proved that this is the best way for lecturers and participants to learn from each other, and ensures everyone can fully participate in discussions and practical exercises.
