Program Overview
Dissemination of information by experts experienced in clinical research and patient care is critical to address practicing dermatologists’ underlying educational needs, allowing them to confidently overcome demonstrated practice gaps.
In the field of cosmetic procedures, patient satisfaction, low risk-benefit ratio and patient’s quality of life are the primary success goals to be achieved by the physicians. Addressing patient management and therapeutic options for cosmetic surgery can provide education that is immediately applicable to clinical practice.
