Description
Dear colleagues,
In this dermatology course, you will learn about healthy nails as well as various nail conditions. The aim is to enable you to approach nail conditions with greater confidence and to take appropriate action in various situations. After learning how to diagnose nail conditions, you will be introduced to conservative, semi-invasive and surgical techniques. Your learning progress will be assessed at the end of the course by means of a quiz.
We look forward to a lively exchange. Difficult cases from clinical practice can also be discussed within the framework of the course to facilitate shared learning.
We look forward to welcoming you to St. Gallen.
