Doctors undergo extensive university training, which usually prepares them well for most medical tasks. However, when it comes to skin cancer checks, this training isn't always enough. Medical students typically receive only 2 hours of skin cancer training, and most curricula were developed before dermoscopy became standard. A dermatoscope is essential for detailed skin cancer examinations.
Few health professionals, including specialists, have formal training in using a dermatoscope. With proper training, their ability to detect cancers could improve by at least 30% and lead to earlier diagnoses when cancers are more treatable.
At Skinspots, we have invested significantly in advanced training for our staff. Our doctors and nurses hold certificates and diplomas in dermoscopy.
Our nurses receive the same rigorous training as doctors and gain experience by working alongside skilled colleagues. This team approach allows for immediate second opinions if needed during your visit.
Our goal at Skinspots is to provide you with the highest quality skin cancer checks.
