1 POSTGRADUATE CERTIFICATE DERMATOLOGY PgC & GPCert (DERM) 2018 SYLLABUS
2 POSTGRADUATE CERTIFICATE IN DERMATOLOGY PgC & GPCert (Derm) 2018 SYLLABUS This syllabus is designed as a guideline to the key areas that the delegate will be expected to understand. The emphasis is very much on the approach to different conditions practical examination techniques, application of appropriate diagnostic procedures and an understanding of the potential complications associated with different body systems, rather than an exhaustive list of potential disorders. The veterinarian will instead be expected to have knowledge of common skin disorders and an appreciation of resource material from where further research can be undertaken into more unusual conditions. An understanding of normal anatomy and physiology, and how these impact on the pathogenesis and treatment of skin disease. A range of different species will be covered including dogs, cats and commonly encountered exotics such as small rodents, reptiles and birds. Suitable reading lists and resource material will be provided by individual tutors during the course. 1. Anatomy and Physiology of the skin An understanding of the comparative gross and histological anatomy of the skin of companion animals. An understanding of the function and physiology of skin of companion animals. 2. Cutaneous pathological processes An understanding of the pathological processes occurring in skin disease. An understanding of how pathological processes relate to clinical signs and the diagnosis of disease. Hypersensitivity reactions types I, II, III, IV in the skin and examples of specific skin diseases involving these processes. The skin response to insults including physical, chemical and microbiological. of skin neoplasia. 3. Clinical examination and history Clinical history taking and its interpretation in the diagnosis of skin disease. Performing a general clinical examination. Performing a detailed examination of the skin. An ability to accurately describe skin lesions. Understanding of key diagnostic tests and their use. Diagnosis and management of common skin diseases. Complications encountered during therapy, their prevention and management.
3 4. Diagnostic Techniques Principles of the collection of samples from the skin relating to skin diseases and interpretation. Collection of samples for microbiology skin scrapings, hairs, acetate strips and impression smears The use of intradermal skin testing and serology in the diagnosis of allergy. The use of clinical chemistry in the diagnosis of skin disease. Basic cytology of samples collected from the skin including masses and discharging sinuses. Skin and skin mass biopsy. 5. Laboratory Diagnosis and Clinical Pathology Skin scrapings, hair examination, acetate strip examination, and impression smears. Sampling techniques (including biopsies), sample processing, storage and recording. Basic cytology of samples collected from the skin including masses and discharging sinuses. Interpretation of clinical laboratory medicine information in relation to skin disease, including: haematology, biochemistry and endocrine tests, fluid and electrolyte disorders and cytology. Diagnostic tests for infectious diseases techniques and interpretation (including viral, bacterial and parasitic diseases) An understanding of the principles of the use of pattern analysis by histopathologists in dermatohistopathology as it relates to disease pathogenesis and diagnosis. Interpretation of histopathology reports. This module includes a practical component in the laboratory preparing and interpreting slides. 6.
