Dermatology Australasia’s Practical Dermoscopy course will be provided to GPs practising in South Australia and consists of both online study and a 1-day face-to-face workshop in Adelaide.

The self-paced online component will be available online from 29th of January to 19th May 2024. An orientation webinar will be held to introduce applicants to the learning platform on the 5th of February 2024 at 7:30pm AEST. Registration details will be sent directly to your email upon successful placement in the program.

Each student is offered a spot at ONE of  two face-to-face workshops to be held in Adelaide.  The dates are 23rd March 2024 and 6th April 2024 from 8am – 5pm ACST. The venue will be confirmed closer to the date. All applicants are required to attend one of these days to gain the certificate, although alternate arrangements can be made. Please email Uta Meyer, Dermatology Australasia Training Manager, via email at uta@dermcoll.edu.au if you cannot attend the workshop on this date but would still like to register for the course.

Dermatology Australasia, the GP Education arm of the Australasian College of Dermatologists, will provide the Practical Dermoscopy course. The course is a 16-week program delivered in a blended learning format. The course consists of a total of approximately 30-50 hours of student effort. This includes:

• 6 self-paced online modules, beginning 29th January 2024.
• An interactive case discussion forum.
• One full day face-to-face practical workshop (held in Adelaide, venue to be confirmed) on 23rd of March OR 6th of April 2024. The workshop offers biopsy and suturing practice, and gives participants the opportunity to consolidate the skills learnt in the online modules and clinical case studies.
