OVERALL OBJECTIVES: The overall objective is to provide the participant with practical and clinically relevant information. Upon completion of this CME activity, the physician or healthcare provider should be able to describe the current approach to formulating differential diagnoses, diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventive management of the various disciplines presented.
NEEDS STATEMENT: Dermatologic disorders affect all Primary Care practices. There is an increase of skin cancers in general and there is an increased incidence of Melanoma as well as a new understanding of the implications of Basal Cell Carcinoma with systemic carcinomas. Additionally, there are many new medications being introduced, and others that have gone out of favor. Therefore, Primary Care providers need to review and update their knowledge in these, and other concerns in Dermatology, annually. A review and update of commonly seen lesions will help to maintain the level of knowledge needed to keep the Practitioner current and practicing with a heightened awareness and recognition of common patient complaints in Dermatology.
