LEARNING SKILLS: of the terminologies and definitions of primary, secondary, and pathognomic skin lesions within oncologic dermatology COMMUNICATIVE SKILLS: acquisition of appropriate terminology in dermatology and teleconsultation methodology is essential to interface within the scientific community in oncology dermatology KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: Acquire knowledge of prevention systems, risk factors, forms of skin cancers and their treatment. To acquire, in addition, an adequate ability to differentiate benign from malignant skin tumors through clinical, dermoscopic and anamnestic criteria and initiate, where necessary, a proper diagnostic-therapeutic course JUDGMENTAL AUTONOMY: Acquire adequate critical processing skills on the morphology of skin tumors to identify potentially high-risk tumors. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: be able to apply acquired knowledge as a solid foundation for learning related disciplines.
