Are you an experienced General Practitioner wanting to strengthen your  dermoscopy and diagnostic skills with less common melanoma subtypes?

Join the Melanoma Institute and St Vincent’s Hospital Sydney online to take part in this interactive learning session.

Held in partnership with St Vincent’s Hospital Sydney, this engaging hybrid educational symposium will focus on diagnosing acral and nodular melanoma—aggressive subtypes that often challenge even seasoned clinicians. Our advanced dermoscopy training will deliver practical, evidence-based insights to improve accuracy in diagnosis and patient care.

Designed for clinicians who are already proficient in dermoscopy and wish to deepen their knowledge of these challenging subtypes, the workshop features expert presentations, case discussions, small-group learning, and  for those joining face-to-face, interactive panels exploring the dermoscopic patterns and structures critical to identifying acral and nodular melanoma.

Learning Objectives

• Recognise key clinical and dermoscopic features of acral and nodular melanoma and differentiate them from benign and non-melanocytic lesions.
• Apply a systematic approach to dermoscopic assessment to improve diagnostic accuracy in detecting challenging melanoma subtypes.
• Identify appropriate biopsy techniques and referral pathways for suspicious lesions, ensuring optimal patient outcomes.
• Interpret and discuss real-life case studies to reinforce diagnostic reasoning and management decision-making for acral and nodular lesions. (For in person/satellite meeting only)
