Join us on Thursday, December 10, from 6:30 to 9:30 PM ET for a free, live virtual workshop on Approach to Pediatric Dermatology with board-certified dermatologists Dr. Marissa Joseph and Dr. Cathryn Sibbald.
Pediatric skin concerns are common in primary care, but conditions that look alike can call for different treatment. This practical workshop will help you assess skin findings systematically, recognize common conditions and their mimics, and make informed decisions about treatment, follow-up, and referral. You’ll work through cases with both faculty and have time to ask questions.
