Fellowship in Dermatology
The Fellowship in Dermatology is intended for MBBS physicians who want to improve their clinical expertise in identifying and treating prevalent dermatological disorders. Skin, hair, nail, infectious, inflammatory, pigmentary, and cosmetic problems are all covered in the program, along with useful methods for patient assessment and therapy planning. Physicians get more comfortable handling dermatological patients in routine clinical practice through expert-led learning, case-based discussions, and clinical observership.
