Weitzman ECHO Dermatology 2022-2023 (March 14, 2023)
Program Information
The Weitzman ECHO Dermatology series will train primary care providers on how to incorporate dermatoscopes into practice, promote management strategies for common dermatological conditions, and improve the identification of skin cancers and infections. These skills will result in well-equipped providers implementing early intervention in dermatology. At each session, subject-matter expert Dr. Vinny Seiverling will provide valuable clinical pearls on dermatological methods and conditions and share case recommendations on participating providers' presented cases.
