Unit Name: Dermatology IV

Description: Dermatology is a medical specialty which focuses on diseases which involve the skin. This includes both diseases which primarily involve the skin and diseases for which the skin is one of the components of the disease. In addition, it includes the surgical and other physical management of conditions which involve the skin. It includes disease prevention, diagnosis and management. DMT900 is the final year of the Master of Medicine in Dermatology programme developed to address the need for Specialist Dermatologists in the Pacific. It utilizes the prior knowledge and skills attained during the study of the postgraduate Diploma in in Dermatology (DMT801) and the first two years of the formal Masters of Medicine in Dermatology (DMT820 and DMT830) to enable the candidate to function as a trainee specialist dermatologist. This course is offered to be flexible such that candidates can be apprentices to specialists either in Fiji, or in their home countries where a suitable supervisor is available, or in an overseas location approved by FNU.
