39th Annual Advances in Dermatology (NYU Post-Graduate Medical School)
June 6, 2019 @ 8:00 am - June 7, 2019 @ 5:00 pm
39th Annual Advances in Dermatology is organized by New York University (NYU) School of Medicine and will be held from Jun 06 – 07, 2019 at New York University – Alumni Hall, New York City, New York, United States of America. The target audience for this medical event is Dermatologists, advanced practice providers, residents, fellows, and medical students.
Course Description:
Dermatology is a rapidly evolving specialty, with new advances in medical, surgical and cosmetic dermatology made every year. New medications and treatment modalities for both common and uncommon dermatological disease have been released, or will be in the next few years, that will change the treatment indications for these conditions. In addition, older medications may still play a role in treating these conditions and how they should be properly incorporated is vital for optimizing patient outcomes. This two-day program will educate practitioners with an interest in the care of persons with skin disorders with current therapeutic options and treatment guidelines as taught by an experienced faculty. It will focus on newly emerging clinically applicable knowledge-ranging from new guidelines to recognition of emerging agents and adverse events to translational research-regarding the best approaches to management of patients in order to receive the best quality of care/outcomes for patients suffering from both common and uncommon dermatologic conditions, including clinical needs for skin of color.
Educational Objectives:
After participating in this activity, clinicians should be able to:
• Identify best applications of new topical and systemic therapies for acne, rosacea, psoriasis and eczema, provide detailed descriptions of side effect profiles to patients, and safely deploy new treatments with more confidence
• Communicate with patients algorithmically in a tiered approach for their specific problem
• Utilize dermoscopy and trichoscopy to diagnose skin, hair and scalp disease
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
