The Membership

Two Semester Membership Course

In Semester 1 we look at the common skin diseases in great detail and the many clinical variations you will see in the rooms.

In Semester 2 we look at a selection of rarer skin diseases, hair and nail disorders, skin cancer diagnosis and management and some cosmetic dermatology.

Build Your Future With The Australian Institute of Dermatology

The Institute and it’s Tutors will help you develop a deep understanding of the diagnosis and management of skin disease.

The 2 Semester course costs $3950 . This includes the live Weekend Workshop at the John Flynn Hospital which starts the course off every Feb. The Weekend Workshop is recorded so attendance is not obligatory  for Overseas Candidates. It is likely to be live streamed in future courses.   The rest of the course including end of semester exams can all be done online including the Thursday evening webinars. The fee includes access to all the course websites for two years after completing the course. It also allows you to put difficult cases into the virtual clinical meeting site for help with diagnosis not only during the course but also after you obtain your Membership. You will also be invited to attend the two weekly Alumni webinars after you obtain your Membership.
