The merger of two conference providers looks to have given Oman a dermatology event which will draw a wide audience.
The 7th Oman International Dermatology Conference is being held in Muscat, on the 8th and 9th of December 2023. Research and innovation are part of this, along with better methods of supporting patients.
Core presentation topics include clinical dermatology, aesthetic dermatology, skin cancer, dermatopathology and pediatric dermatology.
The objective of the conference is to highlight recent advances in skin disease diagnosis and treatment. From the adoption of artificial intelligence, to developments in laser use and those by pharmaceutical companies.
Shared Conditions
Long ago, diseases such as dermatitis, or psoriasis were thought to be northern European issues, perhaps brought on by our climate. Not of course the case, with many common skin problems shared across the globe.
The dermatologists, surgeons, paediatricians and family doctors at the Oman conference will focus on:
- Acne
- Atopic Dermatitis
- Psoriasis Treatment
- Dermatosurgery
- Nail Diseases
- Paediatric Dermatology
- Light & Laser Treatment
- Skin Allergies
- Aesthetic Requirements
- Sexually Transmitted Infections
A list which could appear at a conference anywhere. There are differences in our skin but they are marginal, the care we need is a mutual requirement.
Working Together
A large conference offers the chance to see the latest products, or services and above all, for dermatologists, or other key staff to forge meaningful connections. Thoughts can be shared, new ideas develop from them.
Medicine thrives on collaboration and networking, value can be added to research results and data by sharing with fellow professionals.
The ultimate aim is to support patients, who are themselves more mobile in a changing world. They may visit, or reside in each other’s countries and benefit from joint advances, or knowledge on local needs.
International Benefit
In the information we provide on dermatology for darker skin, the lack of difference to fairer skin is emphasised. We are all the same people, when humans first came to British shores, they would have had a dark complexion.
There are still subtle differences to understand and allow for, when our skin is at the core of dermatology. Visual elements of diagnosis, or the outcome of certain types of treatment will vary across skin tones.
Conferences such as the one in Oman and the relationships they bring help us to appreciate these small variations. Ultimately benefiting all patients who visit a dermatologist, wherever they may be.
