What attendees have said about the course?

"After taking Healthcert's skin cancer courses I was immediately able to incorporate a skin cancer screening program in my general family practice even after the introductory course. My knowledge in terms of ability to correctly screen for worrisome and non-worrisome lesions was greatly increased through use of the 3 point check list and purchase of a dermatoscope. I also choose to utilize a digital camera and upload images into the EMR. I have found that insurance companies will reimburse well for screening exams and by increasing the number of biopsies/excisions and cyrotherapy my billings increased substantially. The cost of the course and equipment was quickly recovered. Patients were quite pleased with having this service available to them with their family practitioner and have become regular follow up patients, coming yearly for check ups. I would highly recommend this course for any family practitioner."
