Students develop competencies in the recognition and interpretation of skin lesions, clinical examination, use of diagnostic methods, treatment planning, and the application of preventive measures for diseases affecting the skin and its appendages.
Course Content	This course contains; Dermatology and Venereology (Introduction),Seborrheic dermatitis,Atopic dermatitis,Contact dermatitis,Papulosquamous diseases,Acne Rosacea,Skin tumours,Bacterial diseases of skin,Fungal diseases of skin,Viral diseases of skin,Sexually transmitted diseases,Parasitic diseases of skin,Urticaria,Bullous diseases,Vitiligo,Connective tissue diseases,Behçet's disease,Reactive neutophilic dermatoses,Acne Vulgaris,Psoriasis,Autoimmune Connective Tissue Diseases,Hyperhidrosis,Practical education: Clinical practice consists of supervised participation in dermatology outpatient clinics and specialized dermatology units. Students perform history taking and physical examination of patients with dermatological and venereal diseases and participate in the assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of common skin disorders under supervision. Training includes the recognition and interpretation of primary and secondary skin lesions, assessment of patients using Wood's lamp examination, dermoscopy, and other diagnostic methods commonly used in dermatology. Students observe and participate in phototherapy procedures and gain experience in selecting appropriate diagnostic investigations and treatment options. Practical experience includes assisting with skin biopsies, cryotherapy, intradermal injections, wound care and dressings, skin prick tests, patch tests, and specimen collection. Students also participate in the preparation and microscopic evaluation of dermatological samples and discuss differential diagnoses and clinical management of dermatological conditions. Throughout the rotation, students develop clinical reasoning, procedural awareness, communication skills, professionalism, and evidence-based approaches to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of dermatological and venereal diseases..
