Course description

This course covers procedures for biopsy (and its interpretation) and excision of skin lesions with direct repair. A second component will address situations where closure by simple suture is not possible and techniques to repair of defects by simple flap and graft are necessary. Students will learn procedures to safely and effectively excise skin cancers and other lesions using these techniques.
