How soon can I start doing skin cancer work?

How soon can you begin diagnosing lesions and performing biopsies and procedures after training in skin cancer medicine?

As Dr Robert West explains, you don’t need to be an “expert” to get started; core dermoscopy skills and simple procedures can be used as soon as you have the equipment.

He says learning is practical and cumulative, with confidence building case by case, and can even flow into broader primary care dermatology over time.
