Course Overview

Brought to you by the Founder and creators of the Masters of Pediatric Dermatology (MOPD) Symposium

From the experts that have brought you the Masters of Pediatric Dermatology (MOPD) Symposium for over 30 years, this comprehensive certification course has been designed specifically to develop your foundational knowledge of some of the most common skin conditions affecting pediatric patients.

The Foundations of Pediatric Dermatology Certificate Course is chaired by MOPD founder Lawrence A. Schachner, MD, who presents alongside a team of other well-known pediatric dermatology experts. The course is available to any healthcare provider who wants to learn more about the fundamentals of pediatric dermatology and best practices for treating and managing common dermatologic conditions, including the pathophysiology and current clinical data.

The self-paced, six-module CME/CE program provides participants with in-depth training delivered through various learning methods, including expert-led lectures and interactive case presentations, and the opportunity to evaluate and test learning outcomes. Each module also includes a downloadable knowledge-check sheet, and learners will also be provided with a “When to Refer Clinician Guide”.

Throughout the course, participants will gain knowledge of the most common pediatric dermatology conditions, including acne and pigmentary issues, atopic dermatitis, hair disorders and scalp conditions, psoriasis, and more.

Within each module, Dr. Schachner and other Nationally Recognized Pediatric Dermatology Experts will discuss the pathophysiology of the conditions, what current guidelines advise, what clinical data is available, the most effective approach in clinical practice to these conditions, and when to refer. 

The course explores six specific focus areas, each with its own learning objectives, which learners can later assess through subsequent evaluation methods.

Each module includes a downloadable knowledge-check sheet that learners can use to test their understanding of each focus area.

Each learner will have access to a private 30-minute "Ask the Professor" session where they can discuss their cases with the experts. There will be a total of four “Ask the Professor” sessions spread out between Q3 and Q4 (two in each quarter). Note that only learners who have signed up for the course may attend.

A "When to Refer Clinician Guide" is provided as part of the course’s resources which learners can use to guide them in their referral process wherever necessary.

Upon completion of the Foundations of Pediatric Dermatology Course, all learners will receive a certificate to demonstrate their successful completion.
