Develop a logical, problem-based approach to infectious skin cases. Skin problems are among the most common reason for presentation in everyday practice. The CVE’s Dermatology Distance Education Program consists of three courses, Pruritic Disease, Infectious Disease and Advanced Dermatology. The emphasis of the program is on deepening your personal logical approach to case management. The courses review the latest information available on a wide range of conditions and presents the latest evidence-based treatment options available. Ultimately, having more confidence in your abilities to manage skin patients will lead to netter outcomes and higher personal satisfaction. The Infectious Skin Diseases course has a broad content list, ranging from bacterial infections and mycoses to ectoparasites not typically associated with pruritus (such as demodicosis). It also covers all aspects of otitis externa and media including pathophysiology, diagnostics, medical management and surgical interventions.  Professor Mueller is regarded as one of the world’s leaders in both demodicosis and otitis and leads this course. If you are only interested in completing part of the program, both the Pruritic and Infectious Disease courses include an introductory module that covers the general approach to a dermatology patient. It also features practical work with microscopy and skin biopsy sampling conducted on-line and the key steps in the approach to nodules. If you are interested in the Advanced course please note that the infectious and pruritic courses are pre-requisites for enrollment.
