Childhood skin conditions play a pivotal role in primary healthcare and are a common occurrence in the daily practice of pediatricians and dermatologists. Accurate and timely diagnosis necessitates the ability to recognize specific patterns and distinctive features of pediatric skin.
This SSDV training course is a biennial event, dedicated to provide paediatric dermatology knowledge to dermatology residents in training as well as fully qualified dermatologists and pediatricians. Throughout this course, you will explore a wide range of topics, from prevalent childhood skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis, to rare dermatological disease like DNA repair disorders.
We are proud to bring together a panel of experts in the field of paediatric dermatology from all corners of Switzerland, France and Canada to ensure a rich learning experience. These renowned speakers will share their vast knowledge, experiences, and insights, providing a truly global perspective on paediatric dermatology.
We look forward to sharing this educational journey with you!
