General Overview
General Overview
The ESAVS Dermatology program consists of 6 one-week modules.
The courses can be taken in any order. The course masters and tutors are Diplomates in Dermatology (ACVD/ECVD/DVD) or diplomates, specialists and University teachers in the related disciplines within the program.
This course focuses on diagnosing and treating allergic and autoimmune skin diseases. The first part deals with skin allergies, especially with atopic dermatitis. The understanding and management of atopic dermatitis has experienced a deep change in the last years. The new therapeutic tools (JAK inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies) are discussed in detail in a medical framework that tends to be more individualized (different treatment for each patient). In the second part, cutaneous autoimmune diseases are discussed. Immune mechanisms and pathogenesis of each entity are reviewed, followed by diagnostic criteria and treatment. Special attention is given to the pemphigus group, but other auto-immune diseases such as uveo-dermatologic syndrome or alopecia areata are also discussed.
Language
All modules will be held in English.
