Fridays at the University Dermatology Day – March 13, 2026

This session will be online only.

Paid registration also provides access to the recording and resources post event. All recordings will be available until August 31, 2026.

Objectives

• Enhance clinical skills in dermatologic examination and management, with a focus on early detection, evidence-based treatment, and patient education in both acute and chronic skin conditions.
• Diagnose and manage common pediatric and adult dermatologic conditions in primary care, including chronic eczema, psoriasis, and undifferentiated skin rashes.
• Identify and differentiate dermatologic cancerous and precancerous lesions and apply appropriate surveillance and referral strategies for skin cancer.
• Recognize dermatologic signs that may indicate underlying systemic diseases, such as Lyme disease, and integrate this knowledge into broader clinical assessment.
• Incorporate principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) into dermatologic care by recognizing how skin conditions may present differently across skin tones and adapting diagnostic and treatment approaches accordingly.
