2013 Wisconsin Dermatological Society Fall Meeting

Milwaukee, WI US
October 5, 2013

This educational activity is designed to enhance the knowledge of the academic and community dermatologists in Wisconsin. The 2013 Fall Wisconsin Dermatologic Society meeting will include four expert lectures. Previous evaluations from our annual program have shown that many dermatologists in our organization feel that they need further education on pediatric dermatology, melanoma and practice management.  These lectures will be followed by self-guided examination of 14 carefully selected live patients.  These patients are selected to demonstrate key points in patient diagnosis management and will emphasize application of evidence-based medicine and up-to-date references. 

 

Target Audience

This program is intended for dermatologists, dermatopathologists, dermatologic surgeons, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, WDS members, and other allied healthcare providers who work with patients that have dermatologic diseases.  The secondary target audience is dermatology residents.
