Join UNSW DermSoc to find out more about the world of Dermatology and learn important procedural skills through our education sessions. A solid grounding in Dermatology is important for all medical practitioners. Not only is Australia the skin-cancer capital of the world, but a large proportion of general practice consults relate to skin complaints, with many internal pathologies manifesting with

cutaneous stigmata. Our aim is to provide both basic and more advanced information to students as a way to raise knowledge and interest in this field. Students will have the opportunity to attend various information nights, case tutorials and more hands-on clinical examination sessions.

💫⭐️ What an incredible turnout for the Sydney Medical Students’ Skin Conference! ⭐️💫

Thank you so much to Sydney University Dermatology Society , Western Sydney University’s Dermatology Society , UNDerm and Desmond Dermatoscope for making this inaugural collaboration possible! We had a record 150 attendees this year across 5 different medical schools, organised by over 20 Dermsoc exec members. We also extend our thanks to UNSW Critical Care Society for facilitating the suturing workshop, and our sponsors for making this effort possible.

A huge, huge thank you as well to all the doctors who gave up their time to give amazing lectures and run educational workshops on the day! It was insightful previewing the landscape of dermatological education, skin cancer management and common hospital presentations, as well as learning the basics behind cryotherapy, suturing and dermoscopy.
