Master in Paediatric Dermatology

The Second-Level Master in Paediatric Dermatology is offered by the University of Florence, Department of Health Sciences. The curriculum integrates lectures and practical activities with a multidisciplinary approach. The focus is on genodermatoses, vascular anomalies and the allergological, immunological, neurological and surgical aspects. The pathway is aimed at those who wish to deepen and update their skills, with a structure that links theoretical reflection to concrete applications in the relevant professional context.

The master lasts 12 months and is part-time with mixed teaching, online and in person, with attendance of two days per month, on Thursdays and Fridays, and synchronous lessons on G-Meet. The language is Italian, with a certified B2 level. The cost is €2,000. Compulsory attendance is 75% and the final assessment is the presentation of a paper. The practical internship takes place at the Meyer Children's Hospital IRCCS for qualified practitioners; for the others an observational internship is provided.

Career opportunities are the hospital and outpatient settings and clinical research. The related professions are paediatrician, clinical researcher and health trainer. Upon completion, those who successfully finish the pathway obtain the qualification provided and can use the skills acquired in their own professional field or in further study. Concrete prospects nevertheless depend on each participant's starting profile and experience. Those who work should carefully assess the commitment required, in terms of weekly hours and attendance, to understand whether the programme is compatible with other professional or personal commitments.
