What our Alumni say

Eleftheria Ladea

I found the content of the online platform interesting and easy to access. The tutorials give a new perspective to the learning material as we ask questions and discuss subjects not entirely included in the material. In general, the combination of live tutorials with the online platform is an excellent combination in order to learn about dermatological conditions and build up necessary skills in dermatology.
