Skin Cancer, dermatology, and dermoscopy general practice courses.
The METC Institute offers general practitioners (GPs), GP registrars, prevocational doctors, International Medical Graduates, and specialised allied health staff continuing education in the domains of skin cancer medicine and surgery, dermatology, and dermoscopy.
All courses are CPD approved and are designed to fit into a Continuous Professional Development (CPD) pathway facilitating ongoing growth in the relevant skill base of skin cancer medicine, skin cancer surgery, general dermatology, or dermoscopy.
Courses may be completed in isolation, or as part of a program which incorporates multiple courses to see the clinician through an entire formal professional development pathway. Recognition of prior learning is also available enabling the clinician to expedite their progress through a professional development pathway and receipt of formal accreditation.
