The Closure course provides a uniquely practical learning experience for dermatologists who are already comfortable with basic dermatologic surgery closures, but wish to take their reconstruction skills to the next level of competency. The course is fast-paced and includes valuable question and answer sessions following each unit of study. Concepts presented may be assimilated immediately into practice, and participants will develop increased con?dence in selecting and executing optimal reconstruction approaches for various defect types and anatomic locations.

The optional but highly recommended handson laboratory session will feature visco-elastic model heads for practice in implementing newly learned principles. Each model will be shared between two participants, facilitating collaborative discussions. A laboratory workbook is provided, and faculty members will be readily available to provide direction and advice.
