Online education in skin diseases for Medical Students, General Practitioners |
Dermatology is an exceedingly interesting specialty. There are more than 2000 named skin diseases many of which are very rare. The big advantage of dermatology over other specialties is that you are able to see, touch and feel the problem you are dealing with and sometimes even smell it! An experienced Dermatologist can recognise the common skin diseases at 20 paces without the need for expensive tests or scans or even skin biopsies. 90% of inflammatory skin disease seen in clinical practice is made up of psoriasis, eczema and acne but each of these conditions has many different clinical presentations |
The websites outlined below from the Australian Institute of Dermatology provide online dermatology education at different levels. They are moderated by Specialist Dermatologists in various countries. Click on any of the images for more information about each site. |
