Program Summary

Dermatology as a course focuses on the study, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions related to the skin, hair, nails, and mucous membranes. It covers a wide range of topics, including skin anatomy and physiology, common and rare dermatological diseases, cosmetic dermatology, and surgical procedures. Students learn to identify various skin disorders, understand their causes, and explore different treatment options, including medications, laser therapy, and surgical interventions. The course also emphasizes the role of dermatology in systemic diseases, as many internal conditions manifest through skin symptoms. Practical training is a key component, with hands-on experience in clinical settings, dermatopathology labs, and cosmetic procedures. Advances in technology, such as teledermatology and laser treatments, are also explored to keep up with modern trends. Ethical considerations, patient communication, and research opportunities are integrated into the learning process, preparing students for careers in clinical practice, research, or specialization in fields like pediatric dermatology, cosmetic dermatology, or dermatopathology.
