A Users Guide To Skin Surgery

In this course Dr Dan Kennedy (plastic surgeon) will take you through the basics of skin surgery, in partnership with Dr Jim Muir (dermatologist).

This course is designed specifically with the needs of practitioners in rural and remote areas in mind. It is aimed at medical students, recent graduates, registrars in general practice (especially those intending to work in rural and remote Australia) as well as established practitioners. Rural and remote doctors may well be called upon to manage issues which in the urban environment could be readily referred on. This can be due to non availability of other medical services or patient reluctance to travel.
