The course is divided into two parts, “Biological Monitoring in Occupational Health” (Part 1) and “Occupational skin diseases” (Part 2).

Part I begins with the basic aspects of anatomy, physiology, and toxicology. The knowledge of these is a fundamental pre-requisite for understanding the concept of “Biological Monitoring in Occupational Medicine”. The most important aspects of biological monitoring are then explained with the help of realistic cases.

Part II deals with skin diseases that are occupationally induced. After an introduction of the fundamental aspects of the structure and functions of the skin, the most common occupationally-induced skin diseases are presented using realistic cases. The cases are presented with the help of case stories, photographs, and expert comments. The case stories illustrate the causes, symptoms, diagnoses, biomonitoring methods, lines of therapy, and preventive measures.
