Skin Biopsy & Minor Surgery Simulation Workshop

Training Overview

Skin Biopsy & Minor Surgery Simulation Workshop is a comprehensive, simulation-based educational program designed to enhance the procedural skills, clinical accuracy, and surgical confidence of dermatologists in office-based dermatologic surgery. Hosted at the ADN CoE Training, Research Center & Core Lab, this two-day workshop combines structured theoretical instruction with intensive hands-on simulation training, focusing on safe, effective, and evidence-based minor surgical procedures.

The course integrates comprehensive sessions on skin biopsy techniques and minor surgical interventions, emphasizing lesion assessment, surgical planning, sterile technique, and complication prevention. Participants gain hands-on experience in realistic simulation labs replicating real outpatient dermatology workflows, with a strong focus on procedural precision, tissue handling, and optimal cosmetic outcomes.

Through interactive simulation workshops, attendees perform step-by-step procedures using advanced skin models under the supervision of expert dermatologic surgeons and international faculty. Dedicated sessions on punch, shave, and excisional biopsies, suturing techniques, wound closure, and post-procedural care ensure a complete and practical technical learning experience.

In addition to clinical training, the workshop features expert-led discussions on pathology correlation, margin assessment, infection control, and medico-legal considerations. Attendees will also participate in case-based discussions addressing real-world dermatologic surgical challenges, complication management, and patient-centered care strategies.

By the end of the program, participants will have strengthened both their procedural competence and clinical decision-making skills, while expanding their professional network within a global dermatology community.
