Primary care providers (PCP's) are under increasing pressure from managed care organizations to broaden their scope of practice. Dermatology, in particular, has been identified as a high priority in several needs-assessment surveys for Continuing Medical Education. Several mini-symposia, focusing on the diagnosis and management of common skin problems likely to be encountered by the PCP, will be presented by a distinguished faculty. Interactive workshops have been designed in this program to develop your dermatological surgery skills, challenge your diagnostic acumen and enhance your mastery of coding & documentation.
Target Audience

Objectives
Upon the completion of this program, the participant should be able to:
Describe abnormal skin lesions and common eruptions.
