I spent my time teaching the two dermatology registrars and marking the written papers and thesis written by the final year registrar. I was also involved in then setting up a final Osce exam with both long and short cases for the registrar to assess her competency in Dermatology. I was also fortunate to sit in with the Dermatologist in their Leprosy clinic where I saw five new cases of Leprosy including both type 1 and type 2 reactions. My talk is about my brief visit to one of the most underprivileged societies in the world. | Conference Start Date: | 2017-05-06 | Conference End Date: | 2017-05-09 | DOI: | http://monash.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/ajd.12652 | ISSN: | 1440-0960 | URI: | https://repository.monashhealth.org/monashhealthjspui/handle/1/39288 | Type: | Conference Abstract |
