Dermatology Prizes in the Westmead Clinical school

The Department of Dermatology for Westmead Hospital has a strong emphasis on medical education, especially increasing dermatology knowledge in medical students and nurturing and recognising those with a talent in dermatology. With over 20% of GP presentations being skin related, it is important that all clinicians have a solid understanding of cutaneous pathologies. The department therefore holds a monthly online quiz on a variety of common dermatological conditions which is made available to Stage 3 students in the Westmead Clinical school. This year, the winners the Dermatology Prizes were Joseph Joseph and Damien Le.
Joseph Joseph won the 2018 Best Student in Dermatology Award – he achieve perfect attendance during his dermatology rotation and scored the highest in the monthly dermatology Quiz. Damien Le won the 2018 First in Dermatology Monthly Quiz Award – in recognition of his excellent scores in the dermatology monthly quiz, despite not having a dermatology placement.
Congratulations to the two winners! Please stay tuned for the onset of the Dermatology Monthly quiz in 2019!
