More information
The course uses the principles of epidemiology and statistics such as chance, bias and confounding to provide a framework to achieve these aims.
The main taught elements of dermato-epidemiology and statistics are part of the UK specialist trainee curriculum (see the BAD website).
The course is primarily aimed at dermatology trainees and newly qualified consultants. However, it is also useful for others such as GPs, dermatology nurses and more experienced dermatology consultants who wish to re-visit and expand their skills.
