Program Overview

Our Dermatology Training Program equips healthcare professionals with practical skills to diagnose and treat common skin conditions. The curriculum is specifically adapted for tropical settings and resource-limited environments.

Addressing Local Needs

Skin conditions are among the most common reasons for medical consultations worldwide, yet dermatology training is often limited in emerging countries. Our program fills this gap by:

  • Training primary care providers in dermatological assessment
  • Focusing on conditions prevalent in local settings
  • Adapting treatments for available resources
  • Building referral networks for complex cases

Practical Focus

The program emphasizes practical skills including:

  1. Visual diagnosis of common conditions
  2. Basic dermoscopy techniques
  3. Minor surgical procedures (biopsies, cryotherapy)
  4. Compounding of topical treatments
  5. Telemedicine for specialist consultations

Sustainable Impact

We focus on sustainability through:

  • Training of local trainers
  • Development of local protocols
  • Establishment of peer networks
  • Ongoing telemedicine support
