Commenting on the significance of these courses, Dr. Hassan Galadari, Head of Scientific Committee of Dubai Derma Conference & Exhibition said, "The pre-conference courses follow tried and tested themes of summarising important topics of high yield value to trainees and those willing to refresh their knowledge in the field of dermatology. Given the popularity of dermatopathology in the past, this topic is now divided amongst two days. The final day of the course will also showcase international academicians from highly regarded institutes in the US. The cosmetic course will showcase 6 well renowned speakers from across the world who will address every aspect of that specific field."
