Before you commence the course, you will be emailed two links to complete two tests:
The first test assesses your knowledge on skin lesions and how they are triaged
It should take approximately 20 minutes to complete
The second test collects information about yourself and assesses your confidence and ability in triaging photographs of skin lesions before you have taken this course
It should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete
The course is designed to be taken over three sessions each lasting approximately one hour:
Session 1
In this section we will briefly discuss the structure of the skin as well as some benign and malignant skin lesions, a systematic approach to lesion assessment (including the ABCDE algorithm) and information on sun protection
You will also be presented with training scenarios 1-3, and some multiple choice questions to check your learning
Session 2
Scenarios 4-7 and relevant quizzes
You will have the opportunity to go over four interactive case studies and take some multiple-choice questions to check learning
Session 3
Scenarios 8-11 and relevant quizzes
You will have the opportunity to go over four interactive case studies and take some multiple-choice questions to check your learning
Scenarios
Each scenario is based upon a realistic e-consult, where a patient has submitted a photograph and text description of a skin lesion they are concerned about
You will be asked to work through each scenario in turn, answering relevant questions and consolidating your approach to assessing skin
Multiple-choice
The quizzes will test your growing knowledge
Each quiz will present you with a question and 4 possible answers based on the learning materials
Only ONE of them is correct
Choose your answer, submit it and then receive instant feedback to check your response
The multiple-choice quizzes are not part of the assessment for the course and can be taken as often as you like
Post-course test
After you have completed the course you will again be emailed with two links to complete two tests
The first one will be re-assessing your knowledge of skin lesions and their triage and should take no more than 20 minutes to complete
The second test will focus on assessing your confidence and ability to triage photographs of skin lesions as a result of you having completed the course
It should take no more than 10 minutes to complete
You have 6 weeks to complete the course
We are wishing you the best of luck and hope you enjoy the course!!
