Main ContentDermatology training with CEU credit for primary care providers
One in four primary care visits includes some type of skin complaint.* In Mississippi, there are 47,440 patients per one dermatologist.** At UMMC alone, new patients may wait up to six weeks to see a dermatologist.
The UMMC Project ECHO for Dermatology empowers primary care providers to treat skin conditions in their communities through case based learning and didactics. Providers can also expand the treatment of skin condition in their practices by submitting cases for treatment feedback.
ECHO topics include:
- Psoriasis
- Acne and rosacea
- Skin cancer prevention
- Warts
- Urticaria
- Skin cancers
How ECHO works
The dermatology meeting is hosted on the Zoom video conferencing platform. It is held on the second Wednesday of the month from 11:45 am -12:45 pm. Providers will receive case submission links once they have registered as a participant.
Email echo@umc.edu to register for the next ECHO meeting.
