Histologic correspondence of dermatoscopic criteria

There are no prerequisites for attending the specific course other than the entry requirements for the Program. It is addressed to interns and specialized doctors in Dermatology, as well as to doctors waiting for the Dermatology-Venoresiology specialty.

Communication with students is usually asynchronous via e-mail or synchronous via mobile phone if there is such a need. The educational process is implemented either by in-person, or synchronous (via teleconference) and asynchronous distance education or a mixed system. The evaluation of students can be done with written or oral exams that can be conducted either live or by distance methods. In any case, for the teaching and evaluation of the students, the online distance learning platform of the AUTh (https://elearning.auth.gr) is used, where digitized teaching material for the students is posted (presentations, video of the lectures, questionnaires, quizzes, sources, bibliography, etc.).

Students are assessed by taking an online quiz containing multiple choice questions or an oral exam.
