The Graduate Certificate in Medicine (Skin Cancer) is a coursework program designed to provide comprehensive training in the diagnosis and management of skin cancer in both the primary care and specialist settings.

It is designed for medical practitioners, nurses and clinician-scientists who work in the field of skin cancer.

Upon completion, graduates will have an in-depth understanding of the behaviour of skin cancer in the context of its genesis, physiology, microanatomy and epidemiology as well as its diagnosis clinically, dermatoscopically and dermatopathologically.

Principles of biopsy and definitive management, based on sound diagnostic and surgical practice will also be competently understood.

The program is delivered entirely online.
