The skin is the largest organ of the body and our direct interface with the world. This
course covers acute and chronic skin disorders commonly seen in clinical practice.
Benign, pre-malignant and malignant skin tumors, bacterial, viral and superficial fungal
infections, eczema, psoriasis and many other autoimmune skin disorders are explored in
detail. We learn to provide a variety of diagnostic and treatment options. Naturopathic
approaches including nutritional, botanical, hydrotherapy and homeopathic therapies
are explored as the foundation of care. Pharmaceutical interventions will be discussed in
detail to understand their utility when appropriate and necessary.
