Academic Half Day Conference - May

Milwaukee, WI US

This educational activity is designed to help practicing dermatologists and APPs remain up to date on both common and uncommon dermatologic diseases, increasing their medical knowledge and competence in caring for these patients. There is not a specific dermatologic disease or topic which this activity is designed to address, as it is more open-ended and recurrent, allowing for the needs of the department to be met as they change year to year. It will additionally address the needs of maintaining professionalism and ethics in medicine, along with continuing practice improvement by presenting Quality Improvement projects.

Target Audience

  • Physicians
  • Physician Assistants
  • Dermatology Residents, Medical Students
