About the Programme
MGA's Fellowship in Pediatric Dermatology is a 12-month advanced online fellowship for medical professionals who want to build specialised expertise in diagnosing and managing skin disorders in infants, children, and adolescents.

This online pediatric dermatology fellowship is delivered through evening live classes, 100% recorded lectures, and LMS-based learning built around your existing practice schedule.
The Fellowship in Pediatric Dermatology curriculum spans 11 modules — covering pediatric skin anatomy and physiology, common skin conditions (eczema, psoriasis, acne, seborrheic dermatitis, diaper rash), infectious dermatology, dermatologic procedures in children, autoimmune and genetic skin disorders, genodermatoses, special population dermatology, pharmacology and therapeutics, pediatric dermatologic emergencies, psychodermatology, community outreach, and evidence-based research in pediatric dermatology. Expert faculty guidance from India's leading pediatric dermatologists, free study materials, e-library access, CPD certification, and one year of structured mentorship are all included.
