PAEDIATRIC DERMATOLOGY WORKSHOP
Paediatric dermatology is a major subspecialty in paediatrics. Around 25-30% of Paediatric OP comprises of dermatology cases. There is a lack of adequate exposure in paediatric dermatology in postgraduate training.
A dermatology workshop will be extremely useful for practicing paediatricians to revise and update their knowledge of paediatric dermatology.
