Certificate of Skin Cancer Medicine

Increase your skills and confidence in skin cancer medicine in our small group weekend workshops.

Face-to-face, interactive learning, including hands-on practical sessions working on pig flesh.

2-day workshop (9.00am to 5.00pm daily)

This is the recommended starting point for GPs wanting to expand their knowledge and skills in primary care skin cancer medicine. The focus is on core skills for the safe practice of skin cancer medicine.

Techniques for diagnosis are covered including clinical examination, assessing risk factors for skin cancer, basic dermoscopy, and biopsy (shave, punch and excision). Both surgical and non-surgical management options are explored including elliptical surgery and basic suturing techniques.

Our not-for-profit status means College earnings are directed back to skin cancer education, standards, advocacy and research.
