Intensive 10-Module Digital
Dermoscopy Masterclass
Prof. Giuseppe Argenziano × Prof. Aimilios Lallas
Co-founder & Past President of IDS × Current President of IDS — The world’s two leading dermoscopy educators in one course
10 HD Modules | 10h Video Content | 500+ Clinical Cases | 8 Subtitle Languages |
This is the benchmark digital dermoscopy course — created in 2017 by the two most influential figures in dermoscopy education: Prof. Giuseppe Argenziano, co-founder and past president of the International Dermoscopy Society, and Prof. Aimilios Lallas, current president of the IDS. Together they deliver the most thorough, evidence-based online dermoscopy education available anywhere.
Structured as 10 intensive one-hour modules recorded in a professional TV studio, the course covers the complete spectrum of dermoscopy — from foundational principles and basic structures, to advanced diagnostic algorithms, melanoma recognition, challenging lesion types, digital monitoring, inflammatory dermatoses, and trichoscopy.
Dermatologists trained in dermoscopy are up to 20% more accurate in diagnosing melanoma. This course exists to close that gap — it is the only online dermoscopy course with IDS accreditation.
