Protecting oneself from infectious agents is a vital part of working in the healthcare industry.

However, use of personal protective equipment may produce adverse reactions to its users. The focus of this talk is on how to mitigate this. Additionally, as skin cancers are on the rise, it is important that we be able to recognize when a lesion of the head and neck is suspicious and what to do about it.

Participants will learn:

  • Possible reactions to personal protective equipment
  • Management of those reactions
  • Skin cancers and signs and symptoms of those cancers
