Melanoma Institute Australia release first stage in Sentinel Node Biopsy Training Course
August 30, 2021
The Melanoma Institute Australia are excited to announce the first stage in their Sentinel Node Biopsy Training Course has been released on the Melanoma Education Portal. Their comprehensive training program is being developed by senior clinicians from Melanoma Institute Australia in collaboration with experts from around Australia.
The overall aim of this program is to upskill surgeons on SNB for diagnosing melanoma. However, the first module is also highly relevant to a number of other specialties (including dermatology, oncology and general practice). The full training course will consist of 3 stages:
- A 1-hr online accredited learning module: The current role of sentinel node biopsy in the management of melanoma (available now)
- A 4-hr deep-dive online learning module for surgeons (coming in 2022)
- A preceptorship program — selected surgeons who complete stages 1 and 2 may apply for the preceptorship (coming in 2022)
