DERM: Early Melanoma Detection/Diagnosis
DERM: Early Melanoma Detection/Diagnosis is organized by The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
Starting Date: September 8, 2022
Ending Date: September 8, 2024
Description:
A dermatoscope is a highly portable medical device that pairs a 10x magnifier with polarized light to better visualize the structures of skin lesions. When providers are appropriately trained, dermatoscopes are a cost-effective, accurate, and easy to use tool for providers to detect melanoma at its earliest stages when it is easiest to treat. The modules presented in this self-paced course seek to bridge the gap for enhanced dermsocopy training among practicing dermatologists.
Objectives:
At the conclusion of this activity, learners will be able to:
• Demonstrate understanding of dermoscopy in determining benign vs. malignant lesions
• Demonstrate understanding of dermoscopy in accurate diagnoses of lesions
• Demonstrate improved confidence in the dermoscopic diagnosis of skin lesions
• Implement best practices for standardization of dermoscopy education
Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
