This module introduces learners to the principles of paediatric dermatology, including the structure and function of infant and child skin, developmental dermatology, epidemiology of paediatric skin diseases, and age-specific dermatological assessment. Participants will learn to recognize normal skin variations, conduct comprehensive dermatological examinations in children, and understand the psychosocial impact of skin disorders on children and their families.
This module focuses on common and rare dermatological conditions encountered during the neonatal period. Learners will understand physiological skin changes, birthmarks, neonatal infections, and congenital disorders. Emphasis is placed on early diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and management of neonatal skin conditions.
This module provides comprehensive knowledge of inflammatory dermatoses affecting children. Learners will explore pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis, and evidence-based management strategies for common inflammatory skin diseases.
This module covers bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic skin infections in children. Participants will develop diagnostic skills and treatment strategies while understanding infection prevention and antimicrobial stewardship principles.
This module examines inherited and congenital dermatological disorders, focusing on genetic mechanisms, clinical manifestations, multidisciplinary care, and long-term management approaches.
Learners will explore disorders affecting pigmentation and hair growth in children. The module emphasizes diagnostic evaluation, dermoscopy, and therapeutic options for common and uncommon conditions.
This module focuses on nail pathology and vascular anomalies commonly encountered in paediatric dermatology. Learners will gain expertise in diagnosis, imaging, and multidisciplinary management.
This module addresses acute and life-threatening dermatological conditions requiring prompt recognition and intervention. Participants will learn emergency management protocols and referral pathways.
Dermatological Procedures and Diagnostic Techniques
This module develops practical skills in dermatological procedures, laboratory investigations, and diagnostic technologies used in paediatric dermatology.
Learners will gain expertise in topical, systemic, biologic, and procedural treatments for paediatric skin diseases. Safe prescribing and monitoring practices are emphasized throughout the module.
Multidisciplinary and Specialized Paediatric Dermatology
This module explores specialized areas of paediatric dermatology requiring multidisciplinary collaboration. Learners will understand integrated care models and management of complex skin disorders.
The final module consolidates clinical knowledge through research, case discussions, evidence-based practice, and a capstone project. Learners will develop leadership, academic, and professional skills necessary for advanced paediatric dermatology practice.
