Online Course | Introduction to Dermoscopy with Dr Ivan Bristow

A

Dermoscopy is a technique that allows closer visual inspection of the skin which has been used in the assessment and recognition of skin lesions, both benign and malignant. The basic technique can be learned within a few hours and integrated into daily podiatric practice.

For the past two years, Dr Ivan Bristow has been training UK podiatrists in dermoscopy by offering a face-to-face lecture programme. However, Australian podiatrists have asked where they can get this training from as well. During these unusual times, with little prospect of travelling to Australia at the moment, Dr Bristow is offering a unique opportunity for Australian podiatrists to learn dermoscopy with him via an online platform - with course dates available in 2021.
