DESCRIPTION
Open admission to eligible categories, no tuition or ticket
The immune system drives many diseases in dermatology, and many of our therapeutic approaches are designed at harnessing the immune system. This focus session is designed as a review of the basic branches of the immune system as they relate to clinical dermatology.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
