4th Nordic Dermoscopy Course 2019

4th Nordic Dermoscopy Course is organized by Conference Organisation, Association Development & Project Management (CAP) Partner and will be held from Mar 28 - 29, 2019 at Radisson Blu Scandinavia Hotel Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Vastergotland, Sweden.

The target audience for this medical event is directed towards residents and specialists in Dermatology who are members of any of the five national societies within the Nordic Dermatology Association (Danish Dermatological Society, Finnish Dermatological Society, Icelandic Dermatological Society, Norwegian Society of Dermatology and Venereology and Swedish Society of Dermatology and Venereology).

Conference Description :
The main goal of this course is to give participants a solid foundation in their daily work with dermoscopy in order to increase their confidence when assessing the most common benign and malignant, melanocytic and non‐melanocytic lesions.

The course will combine lectures with interactive ”Test yourself” sessions. The basic theory on how to name and classify the myriad of patterns and local structures we observe in both pigmented and non-pigmented skin lesions will be thoroughly covered accompanied by several typical examples of each diagnosis. In addition, images of atypical presentations will be included in the lectures to increase awareness regarding the morphologic variability observed in numerous lesion types. During the interactive sessions, the participants will be able to test their newfound knowledge. These sessions will also provide an opportunity to discuss differential diagnoses and management plans based on the dermoscopic findings.

On the second day of the course, we will discuss the various vascular structures, which can be identified with dermoscopy and their importance. Participants will also be introduced to the specific criteria applied to pigmented lesions found on special body sites such as the face and acral skin. Finally, the course will also cover important management strategies based on dermoscopic images including short- and long-term monitoring as well as teledermoscopy.

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
