UNSW Dermatology Society seeks to provide auxiliary dermatology teaching to that provided by the current medical course. This is achieved with teaching sessions, grands rounds, workshops teaching important procedural skills such as punch biopsies and OSCE/ICE revision nights focused on Dermatological presentations.
In the future, we hope to increase the students awareness in the depth and scope of Dermatology. We also hope to see medical graduates with better knowledge and skills to be able to differentiate dermatological conditions from other clinical manifestations, leading to more accurate specialist referrals. Early exposure also helps the interested students to better prepare for specialist training with the Australian College of Dermatology.
