Dermoscopy is a valuable diagnostic tool in general practice, particularly for rural and remote clinicians who regularly assess skin lesions and make decisions about monitoring, biopsy, excision and referral.
Join Dr Jim Muir, Dermatologist, for a practical and clinically focused webinar exploring how dermoscopy can be effectively integrated into everyday rural general practice.
Using practical examples and clinical cases, Dr Muir will demonstrate a systematic approach to dermoscopy, highlight key features of common benign and suspicious skin lesions, and discuss how dermoscopic findings can be combined with history and clinical examination to support decision-making.
