	Didactics Description  Welcome to the Dermatologic Surgery Didactics Program. In addition to clinical rotations, the didactic program is designed to provide you additional information about all aspects of dermatologic surgery. The didactics program consists of five elements: A formal lecture series with scheduled topics presented periodic Wednesday mornings 7:00am to 7:45am. (Click here for previous schedule - current schedule by email ) These will be presented by faculty, fellows, residents. An invitation to attend the annual hands-on UW cadaver dissection course, (Usually September of each year. This was cancelled in 2007 and pending for 2008) An international faculty of ENT and Dermatology will review basic anatomy and reconstruction in a hands-on workshop. Periodic Pig's Foot Hands-On Exposure Use of the internet based lecture series put on by MDLive. Lectures with audio are available at their website where they are archived online   <-- RETURN TO TOP Preparing your Presentation Though it is no longer mandatory as in the past, I encourage the resident on rotation in dermatologic surgery to prepare a 45-50 minute presentation to be made during the dermatologic surgery didactic sessions. It is my hope to slowly develop a library of Power Point presentations that will be updated by future generations of residents. This library will thus become an excellent learning resource in the future. The author of a presentation will be the first author. A resident who updates or edits a presentation in future years will become a coauthor. Although you will be expected to prepare your presentation, your contributing it to the "Derm Surgery Library" is not compulsory. With this in mind, please bear in mind the following guidelines for your presentation:  You may choose a topic (after discussion with Dr Berg). You are encouraged to prepare this topic during or soon after your 2 month dermatologic surgery rotation. Your topic should be aimed at the level of your fellow residents. The subject matter should in general be practical and helpful for a dermatology resident planning to go into practice and preparing for the boards. Your audience is your fellow resident. This is not expected to be as time-intensive as your grand rounds presentations. Presentations should be prepared on Microsoft PowerPoint. Slides are sufficient; however, accompanying notes (which can be added to powerpoint) are encouraged. A syllabus is not required, but a handout of the slides will be appreciated as reference material by your fellow residents. You should include a title slide with your topic, your name and the date prepared. If you are updating a previously prepared topic, your name and the edit date should appear below the names of the previous authors. Because the material may be published, any images, text or other material that would need a reference in a standard chapter must be identified along with its source. The identification should be sufficient for us to reference or obtain permission for use if subsequent publication occurs. The reference information should be either present on the slide or as an accompanying note in Powerpoint. The master library of presentations will be maintained by Dr Berg. A disk or email copy of your presentation should be provided to Dr Berg.  <-- RETURN TO TOP Suggested Text for Didactic Program "Surgery of the Skin - Textbook with DVD" - Edited By June K.
