GPs manage skin cancer at a rate of 1.2/100 encounters, and excision of skin lesions is one of the most common procedures in general practice. There is an expectation that GP registrars should be able to comprehensively assess and manage skin cancers, including undertaking a range of related minor procedures.
This short course provides an introduction on how to screen and identify suspicious skin lesions in a busy general practice. The video lectures are based on university quality-assured skin cancer certificate courses which have been completed by thousands of medical professionals worldwide.
Medi-aesthetic treatments can be a valuable and profitable adjunct to the services you already provide in primary care. By diversifying your practice you will meet the rising patient demand for aesthetic procedures in Australia, retain existing patients and attract new ones while offering a reliable, non-Medicare-based revenue stream for your practice.
This short course provides GPs with an introduction to aesthetic procedures in your general or skin cancer practice. The video lectures are based on Australia's only university quality-assured Professional Diploma Program in Aesthetic Medicine. HealthCert highly recommends further aesthetic medicine training upon completion of the short course.
