Academy Philosophy
What we aim for
When we launched the FotoFinder Academy in 2017, our goal was to offer you advanced training courses with the world's best speakers in the field of dermato-oncology, combining knowledge transfer with personal exchange and entertainment. All this in the beautiful Bavarian village of Bad Birnbach, the home of the FotoFinder Family. A lot has happened since then! We had wonderful guests from all over the world at the “Dermoscopy Power Days”, with top speakers such as Andreas Blum, Holger Hänßle, Rainer-Hofmann-Wellenhof, Geppi Argenziano and Peter Soyer.
We have now added online formats to our Academy program, which we will continue to expand. Whether Total Body Dermoscopy, AI, trichoscopy or aesthetics, join the "FotoFinder & Friends” events and meet top speakers virtually, comfortably from your sofa, no matter which corner of the world you are in. Enjoy the unique "edutainment" mix of knowledge talk with practical value and entertainment, participate at our AI Challenge and be part of the community!

This workshop is maybe the best dermoscopy activity I’ve ever taken part in – I’m pretty happy to be here. The FotoFinder Dermoscopy Power Days are a nice event with high quality, the lessons will improve my dermoscopy knowledge. In our country we see a high number of melanoma each year. At the moment, I work with FotoFinder in order to examine and to detect skin cancer as early as possible as well as to control high risk patients. In the future, we will expand to use the FotoFinder for psoriasis and trichoscopy.
It is a great experience. The lectures are very interesting and were held by the top experts in the world – Professor Argenziano and Professor Soyer. We also have the opportunity to enjoy the Bavarian food, the Bavarian culture and meet people from all over the world to expand our knowledge and exchange ideas. It was a very great experience for us! Although we are very recent FotoFinder users, we can definitely say that this system has upgraded the diagnostic level of our private clinic and patients are really excited with its clarity. FotoFinder is an irreplaceable tool for our clinical and research projects on genetic predisposition for the detection of melanocytic nevi.
This is a very good experience for me: I would say I’m not a beginner, I’m a user, but I have to develop myself everyday – otherwise I stop developing. Thanks to these two excellent speakers and the many case studies, I can gather a lot of knowledge for myself and expand my own knowledge. I would like FotoFinder to continue this educational program. Not only doctors in my clinic love this device, but also our patients because it’s great when they can see the comparison of their changed lesions on the screen. I’m looking forward to cooperating with FotoFinder in the future – especially Total Body Dermoscopy – and I will soon be able to work with the new ATBM master in my clinic.
