This course covers skills such as punch biopsies, KOH prep, melanoma recognition, and how to do a skin exam. Students will learn advanced suturing techniques using their own simulated facial laceration trainers, including the ear, lip and nose. We also learn surgical knot tying, techniques to minimize scarring, the science behind skin grafts, and more. Our guest faculty include a practicing plastic surgeon and dermatologist.
