The Dermatology course will introduce students to dermatology and patients with skin disease. It will enable students to diagnose common skin conditions and understand the principles of management of these patients. Students will also be taught about any rarer conditions that are severe and where early diagnosis is important. The course will cover the pathogenesis of the main skin conditions and rarer conditions, where these conditions provide insight into more common conditions and the main therapies used in dermatology including topical preparations, system drugs, phototherapy and surgery.
