Lip, Oral, Genital, Peri-anal Melanic Spots

The presence of such signs signal a possible intestinal hamartomatous polyposis and high cancer risk syndrome. The most common name is Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.

Unlimited access to webinars and all contents of Clinical Eye Openers (CEO) requires registration. Requests for waivers of fees are considered.

Certifications of Participation (CoP) and a Diploma of Proficiency (DoP) are granted under the following conditions – participants seeking a CoP must view the webinar plus all supplements.

To be granted a DoP concerning a particular series of webinars, the participant must have all the relevant CoPs and earn at least 70% of the score of a proficiency test.

A series of “Basic Elements of Teratology/Dysmorphology in Clinical Practice” webinars describe the principles, terminology, visual elements, and other basic components to prepare clinicians to better grasp clinically oriented webinars. The emphasis is on visual and terminology elements. In other words, the BASIC DESCRIPTIVE WEBINARS precede “TOPOGRAPHIC” WEBINARS and PRACTICUMS stressing combinations of informative visual clinical signs, signals, syndromes, etc. Webinars often are expanded by supplements and include links to further sources of information (see Table of Contents).
