• Explain, reflect about, and demonstrate a complete overview of systematic clinical approach to the dermatological patient at an advanced level.
• List, classify, and demonstrate critical reflection on the most current and novel approaches to patient diagnosis, therapy, and management at an advanced level of clinical dermatology using comparative aspects to human dermatology where applicable. 
• List, classify, and demonstrate critical reflection of research methods, research study design, and research presentation in specialised scientific veterinary and human journals concerned with clinical dermatology.

Skills

• Evaluate and suggest management of complex dermatological cases and have a solid understanding of relevant treatment protocols.

• Work systematically and effectively in the specialisation area, having knowledge and understanding of the area at a high international level. 
• Master and apply advanced practice skills/tools in combination with theoretical knowledge such as preparation and evaluation of sampling procedures for cytological examination of different skin lesions, thorough assessment of cultures and sensitivity testing, advanced understanding of dermatohistopathology, IgE blood tests, and CT evaluation of the ear canal.

Competences

• Work independently, take responsibility for, predict, prognosticate, and make decisions at an advanced clinical dermatological level using the most current diagnostic and therapeutic methods. 
• Make ethical considerations regarding diagnostic methods and therapies, and place these into perspective such as screening programs in cat and dog breeds at risk for genetic dermatological diseases. 
• Communicate effectively verbally and in writing, and be capable of discussing issues within the specialization area with professional colleagues in private practice, in academia, and in research institutions within the area of specialized clinical dermatology.
