WELCOME TO AUSTRALIA’S PREMIER PRIMARY CARE SKIN CANCER EDUCATION PROGRAM

The three Certificates in Skin Cancer from the University Of Queensland School Of Medicine are the only university-based awards of their kind available in the world. The courses include pre-disposing activities, a 2 day practical workshop, all reference materials, on-line training and assessment. The certificate courses are university quality assured and deliver a university school of medicine award with credit into a full degree (Master of Medicine – Primary Care Skin Cancer Medicine)*.

Since 2006 over 2,000 medical practitioners from Australia, Canada, China, Europe, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, UAE, UK and USA have attended the Skin Cancer Certificate courses delivering a comprehensive approach to skin cancer in a primary care environment.

The Certificate courses are designed to meet the needs of medical practitioners who are interested in primary care skin cancer medicine: primary care physicians, mainstream general practitioners, skin cancer clinic doctors, overseas graduates, nurse practitioners, dermatology registrars and rural doctors. The courses range from an introduction for those with little or no experience through to advanced courses for practitioners who have completed the first certificate course or have substantial experience.

These courses feature a 2 day weekend practical workshop which have been developed and are led by international and local specialists, industry professionals. These workshops will be held on the east coast of Australia during the year in 2010. There is an on-line training / assessment requirement to be completed at the practitioner's convenience within six months of the conclusion of the workshop part of the course.

Successful candidates will receive the UQ School of Medicine Awards and CPD/CME points from their relevant medical college including the RACGP, ACRRM or RNZCGP. Rural doctors who qualify for the 'Rural Procedural Grant' may receive Federal Government assistance to attend.
