COURSE OVERVIEW

Presented by noted specialists, the Advanced Certificate of Dermoscopy for Dermatology explores the applications of dermoscopy in diagnosing a range of skin and hair conditions commonly seen in primary care. The online certificate course enables medical practitioners to improve dermatological diagnoses in general practice, allowing you to better manage skin and hair presentations and improve patients' outcomes.

It is important that a general understanding of dermoscopy is incorporated into the basic practice of dermatology as part of the overall clinical examination, combined with macroscopic inspection, palpation, scratching and diascopy to reach an accurate diagnosis. Dermoscopy provides additional information that will help increase your diagnostic abilities.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS AND COURSE REQUISITES

The Advanced Certificate of Dermoscopy for Dermatology is tailored for medical practitioners who wish to perform dermoscopy in primary care to improve diagnosis of commonly seen dermatological conditions.

This course is for general practitioners, degree-qualified nurses and dermal therapists, and other degree-qualified health professionals with an interest in skin. The prerequisite for this Advanced Certificate course is the successful completion of the HealthCert Professional Certificate of General Dermatology or the HealthCert Professional Certificate of Dermoscopy. HealthCert also highly recommends successful completion of at least 25 patient cases prior to enrolment.  

The Advanced Certificate of Dermoscopy for Dermatology may be taken as an alternative step after completing the beginner courses in the HealthCert General Dermatology or Dermoscopy pathways mentioned above, after you have gained some basic skills in one or both of those areas. You may elect to take this course because you do not wish to subspecialise in either pathway but want to complete further studies in the field. Or, you may elect to take this course in addition to the full General Dermatology and/or Dermoscopy pathway(s) to round out your knowledge.

Professionally recognised qualifications and prior studies may be recognised for entry into this course if the learning outcomes match exactly. Please ask a HealthCert Education Advisor for an individual assessment of your prior qualifications and experience.

Participants will require access to a computer/laptop, an internet connection and a basic level of technology proficiency to access and navigate the online learning portal.

COURSE CONTENTS

MODULES & TOPICS

This module focuses on the use of dermoscopy using these five parameters to guide diagnosis: vessels, scaling, follicular findings, other structures and specific clues. The module looks at the dermoscopy of papulosquamous skin diseases like psoriasis and dermatitis as well as common facial inflammatory skin diseases, including rosacea and discoid lupus erythematosus. It includes dermoscopic findings, pathologic correlation and treatment options. The important morphologic parameters on dermoscopy are evaluated. The module concludes with an explanation of how to diagnose hair and scalp diseases using trichoscopy and supported by illustrations and clinical examples of several hair and scalp skin conditions.

This module looks at the main difference between dermoscopy of inflammatory dermatoses and dermoscopy of skin cancer. The benefits of inflammoscopy are explained and the five parameters to be evaluated (vessels, scaling, follicular findings, other structures and specific clues) are listed. Differentiation between common papulomatosquamous dermatosis is explained and examples of the different conditions are given. The two-step approach for inflammatory dermatoses is given - the collection of clinical data and setting of dermoscopic diagnosis and the incorporation of dermoscopic data. The module concludes with a number of patient cases taking into account the efficacy of the applied treatment by using dermoscopic and photographic examples of several skin conditions.

This module commences with disorders of pigmentation showing an overview of hyperpigmented diseases and examples of these diseases including lichen pigmentosus, frictional melanosis and vitiligo. The differences between hypopigmented and hyperpigmented disorders are outlined. The module continues with diagnosis of granulomatous diseases including numerous clinical examples of diseases such as lupus vulgaris and acne agminate. The final section focusses on two categories of uncommon skin diseases: papulo-keratotic dermatoses and papulo-squamous dermatoses supported by clinical images of the characteristics of these diseases.

This module focusses on the use of dermoscopy to analyse the clinical signs and symptoms for infectious skin diseases. It compares the use of dermatoscopy versus microscopy. Definite diagnosis is usually established by microscopy whereas dermatoscopy allows the "in vivo" recognition of the parasite and its eggs within the burrows and furrows. This module includes descriptions supported by clinical images of louse laying eggs on pubic hair, the scalp or more uncommonly the body. Detailed information is given regarding the use of dermatoscopy for the detection and management of viral and fungal infections of the skin.

This module describes trichoscopy and evaluates the important morphologic parameters of trichoscopy. A comparison is made between dry trichoscopy and trichoscopy with immersion fluid. The appearance of different types of hair shafts and hair follicles are described. This includes criteria to assist with investigations and demonstrates the morphological changes to hair follicles and hair shafts that assist diagnosis of hair problems. Clinical images support module learning. The final section of the module looks at pathological findings including examples of hairpin elongated vessels, arborizing vessels, glomerular vessels and thick arborizing vessels.

At the beginning of this module the different types of common alopecias are listed including first diagnostic steps. Alopecia areata in children is also featured. Androgenetic alopecia is a common form of hair loss in both men and women and this condition is described as well as the major and minor trichoscopy criteria of female pattern hair loss. Clinical images are featured throughout the module. The module further discusses alopecias with examples of androgenetic alopecia including differential diagnosis. In conclusion the management of these conditions is discussed.

This module explains the use of onychoscopy in clinical practice, including the how, where and why of this technique. The technique is discussed as well as management options for treating onycholysis. The diagnostic aspects and symptoms of common inflammatory and infectious disease affecting the nails are described.

The module concludes by outlining what cases of onychoscopy should be used routinely in the evaluation of a nail diseases and how to perform a dermoscopic observation of the nail. Extensive images and examples are provided of the applied treatment on the nails by using trichoscopy.

This module commences with outlining the major forms of melanin and relevance when using dermoscopy. Melanoma facts and a checklist for people with skin of colour are listed. The dermoscopic features of basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma are given and illustrated using dermoscopic images throughout to show the different classifications. Attention is also paid to inflammatory dermatoses and pigmentary disorders in people of colour and how to diagnose these conditions. This is supported by numerous clinical examples of different skin conditions. The module concludes with a focus on detecting melasma and ochronosis.

ASSESSMENT

In order to meet the requirements of professional and academic learning, the course assessment includes a professional requirement and two online examinations.

  • Develop a report/explanation of how the learning from this course will help you with your professional development

Online assessment

  • 104 knowledge questions based on a scenario of a medical practitioner undertaking special interest training.
    • 13 per module
      Example: The medical practitioner believes that 10% of the population … Is he correct?  Yes/No
  • 104 authentic scenario based questions based on cases of patient care at a clinic
    • 13 per module
      Example: A patient arrives at your clinic with this problem … What should you do?  Multiple choice images based on patient cases.

The knowledge-based examination is worth 50 per cent and the application-based examination is worth 50 per cent. The overall pass mark is 80 per cent. It is therefore not possible to pass this course on knowledge alone. Knowledge must be successfully applied to patient cases in order to pass the course.
