Rila Institute of Health Sciences Announces Dates for the Postgraduate Diploma in Dermatology

July 10, 2014 - PRLog -- Rila Institute of Health Sciences is pleased to announce that its programme the “Postgraduate Diploma in Dermatology” for 2014 will be held in:

-          Sharjah, United Arab Emirates in November
-          United Kingdom in September

The structure of the course consists of three modules administered by Rila that focus on the primary areas of dermatology: a core medical skills module, advanced studies module and a clinical practice module.

Introductory face to face workshops, held either in the UK or at one of the other two international centres, are coupled with online reading and “case based discussions” facilitated by consultant dermatologists.

Regular assessments online allow gauging of progress in knowledge and skills acquisition. Once the student has completed the course, success in a final written paper confers the Postgraduate Diploma in Dermatology which is awarded by Rila’s collaborative partner, MiddlesexUniversity, London. The holder is then registered as an alumnus of the University in its graduate roll.

This programme is suitable for medical or healthcare practitioners already working in any clinical area and who wish to deepen their knowledge of dermatology. These professionals should have an MBBS or an equivalent degree/experience, proof of a basic knowledge of the minimum standard in the English language is required if the basic medical degree was not conducted in the English medium.

A Postgraduate Diploma in Dermatology indicates to colleagues and patients that the holder has a special interest in dermatology, and affords greater confidence when delivering dermatology care. Students can also build their credentials through this programme, as it is accredited by many influential Dermatology organisations such as the Royal College of General Practitioners, the National Association for Primary Care and the International Primary Care Association.

The course fees for the Postgraduate Diploma are £3,600 with a £120 registration fee for students in the UK, and for those overseas the costs are £3,600 with a £120 registration fee.
