Skills Workshop:
Dermatology Procedures

Feb 7, 2025

Our skills workshop is back! Dermatology Procedures is for medical professionals looking to enhance their understanding and management of common skin lesions encountered in primary care. By focusing on the identification of these lesions and the specific indications for biopsy, clinicians will be equipped with the knowledge to make more informed decisions about patient care. The workshop also covers evidence-based treatments for skin lesions, ensuring that participants can offer the most up-to-date and effective interventions for their patients, improving overall clinical outcomes.


In addition to enhancing diagnostic and treatment capabilities, the workshop provides hands-on experience in performing skin biopsies and treating various skin conditions. This practical training builds confidence and proficiency in these procedures, helping participants reduce complications and enhance patient safety. Additionally, by learning to communicate the potential risks and complications of biopsies and treatments to patients, healthcare providers can foster better patient understanding and trust, resulting in a more positive healthcare experience for those they serve.

The Acute Care of at-Risk Newborns Program (ACoRN) is a Canadian initiative aimed at educating on neonatal stabilization, fostering a multidisciplinary team approach, and providing care for newborns who are unwell or at risk of becoming unwell shortly after birth. It also prepares for the transfer to a referral facility when needed.

ACoRN employs a sequential, case-based methodology to impart knowledge and skills. Its design ensures its utility irrespective of the complexity of a condition or the frequency with which a practitioner encounters specific conditions.
