The student will also be exposed to minor surgical procedures (electrosurgery, cryosurgery, excisional surgery, and skin biopsy), and to the importance of dermatopathology.
Another objective is to show the student the important interplay between physical disease and emotional factors - an interplay that often is important in dermatology.
