The Residency Program from Central Maine Family Medical Center came to present their residency program, and teach us a few common dermatological procedures seen in family medicine practices.
We used pig's feet to practice making elliptical excisions of "moles" and then were taught how to suture them up. The second exercise of the workshop was taking punch biopsies from the pig's feet, and suturing the cut shut. The Maine team also taught us how to use the liquid nitrogen as a treatment for warts and superficial lesions, as well as a scraper for shaving off surface growths (again, practiced on pig's feet). The basics of skin cancer were also reviewed.
