Learning Objectives:
Following this course, the attendee should be able to:
- Recognize how travel, immigration, war and adoption geographically affect the practice of dermatology
- Distinguish and diagnose imported dermatoses that practitioners in developed countries will likely begin to encounter
- Outline appropriate differential diagnoses and institute appropriate therapy for these formerly exotic dermatoses
Description:
Exotic tropical skin diseases are not so exotic anymore due to environmental changes, war, urbanization, refugee movements, tourism, and the emergence of new diseases. It is increasingly useful that dermatologists and dermatology residents have familiarity in this arena as tropical dermatoses become more prevalent in developed countries. This session will cover imported and tropical dermatoses of emerging significance that dermatologists in academic and private practice should be on the lookout for given the increased ease of travel and globalization.
