Neglected tropical skin diseases affect poor populations in tropical areas. They include leprosy, mycetoma, and cutaneous leishmaniasis, causing disability and stigma. They receive little attention and resources, leading to poor diagnosis and treatment. Increased awareness and improved healthcare access are needed to help affected communities.
Chair: Prof Awatef Kelati, MD
This comprehensive dermoscopy course provides dermatologists and healthcare professionals with essential skills in skin lesion evaluation, covering fundamental principles through advanced diagnostic applications across five key areas: global dermoscopy practices, pigmented lesion analysis (including differentiation of benign and malignant patterns), specialized techniques for skin of color, skin cancer detection (melanoma and non-melanoma), and general dermatological conditions (inflammatory, infectious, and hair/nail disorders). Participants will develop proficiency in recognizing diagnostic patterns, adapting techniques for diverse skin types, and applying dermoscopic algorithms, ultimately enhancing their clinical accuracy through a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical case-based learning. The course emphasizes real-world application, addressing both common and challenging scenarios in dermatological practice.
Chair: Prof Mohammad Jafferany, MD
This specialized course explores the vital intersection between dermatology and mental health, equipping clinicians with the knowledge and tools to manage psychodermatological conditions effectively. Through a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application, participants will learn to diagnose and treat dermatological delusional disorders, identify psychiatric comorbidities in skin disease patients, and implement mental health strategies for chronic dermatoses. The curriculum also examines psychological factors in cosmetic dermatology and provides cutting-edge screening techniques for body dysmorphic disorder, including modern digital manifestations like Zoom dysmorphia. Adopting a patient-centered approach, the course emphasizes multidisciplinary management of conditions where psychological and dermatological factors interact. Participants will gain expertise in recognizing psychiatric components of skin diseases, addressing the emotional
burden of chronic conditions, and applying ethical principles in cosmetic practice. The training combines expert instruction with case-based learning to bridge theory and clinical practice. Designed for dermatologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, and primary care providers, this program enhances clinicians' ability to deliver holistic care that addresses both the visible and invisible aspects of skin disorders. Upon completion, practitioners will be better prepared to manage complex psychodermatological cases while improving patient outcomes through integrated mind-skin healthcare.
