By the end of this teaching session, learners will be able to define and describe key elements of skin anatomy and physiology, providing a solid understanding of the basic structure and function of the skin including layers of the skin, types of cells, and the roles they play.

Learners will become familiar with the common skin diseases and disorders, their symptoms and understanding their underlying pathophysiology.

Participants will be equipped to perform thorough skin examinations, recognizing common symptoms and signs of skin diseases including types of lesions, distribution patterns, and other significant findings.

Attendees will learn and practice effective patient communication skills during skin examination, including explaining the procedure, obtaining consent, and discussing potential findings.

Upon completing the session, medical practitioners will be able to integrate the knowledge of skin anatomy and physiology with practical skin examination skills, leading to improved clinical assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning of skin conditions.
