The Dermoscopy for Melanoma course is divided into one detailed unit, focusing on the dermoscopic features and patterns that aid in diagnosing melanoma.

Melanoma Specific Structures.
This unit covers the identification of melanoma-specific structures seen on non-glabrous skin. Participants will learn to detect features such as atypical networks, angulated lines, negative networks, shiny white lines, and peripheral tan structuralist areas. Each structure is explored in detail, with an explanation of its dermoscopic appearance and clinical significance. The course discusses how these structures can be used to differentiate melanoma from benign lesions, with special attention to invasive melanomas. The unit includes numerous dermoscopic images and practical tips on assessing lesion patterns and determining appropriate management​.

This course equips medical professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to diagnose melanoma with increased confidence, using advanced dermoscopic techniques and tools.
