We are proud to announce that Dr. Rivers has been invited to present at three sessions during the 23rd World Congress of Dermatology (WCD), being held here in Vancouver from June 8-13th, 2015.
The World Congress of Dermatology is not just another conference for professionals, it’s “the equivalent to the Olympics, but in Dermatology”, notes Dr. Rivers’ associate. Vancouver won the bid to host this international event after four years of bidding efforts, and it has taken another four years to organize –it’s a not-to-be missed event for dermatologists world-wide.
Our clinic values scientific and technological advancement, and Dr. Rivers’ involvement at the WCD speaks to his reputation in the global dermatology community.
Dr. Rivers has been invited to speak at these sessions:
- Symposia: Advances in Lasers and Other Light Sources – “Laser and light-based treatment of pigmented lesions”
- Symposia: Practical Management of Acquired & Congenital Melanocytic Nevi – “When should dysplastic nevi be fully excised if biopsy margins are positive”
- Controversies (debate): “The Cutaneous Melanoma Epidemic – Is it Real or an Artifact of Aggressive Diagnosis?” Dr. Rivers’ is presenting on the position that the melanoma epidemic is real.
Dr. Rivers will also be moderating a session on antioxidants sponsored by SkinCeuticals, “New Frontiers in Antioxidant Research” featuring dermatologists speaking on four different aspects.
