Courses
Courses are didactic sessions aimed at participants who wish to gain new knowledge in a field with
which they may not already be familiar. Basic aspects of the topic are covered, in addition to
current breakthroughs and advances.
We have programmed a wide range of course topics, from The Basics of Dermatologic Surgery and
Pediatric Dermatology to Advanced Cosmetic Dermatology.

Featured Tour: Cruise to Alaska
What better way to discover the beauty of Alaska and the Pacific Coast than from the comfort of a
full-service cruise ship? Walk directly from the Vancouver Convention Centre onto a ship that will
take you on a seven-day round-trip journey. Discover untouched stretches of land, glaciers that
span the horizon and whales breaching off the bow of the ship. A cruise from the Vancouver to
Alaska is a trip of a lifetime. Select one of three scheduled sailings.
