Доктор Michael BENZAQUEN

I completed medical education at the Faculty of Medicine of Marseille, Aix-Marseille University (Marseille, France), and ranked first among 3000 students in the first year of medical school. I then completed my residency in Dermatology at Assistance Publique Hôpitaux de Marseille, before a fellowship in the department of Dermatology at Hôpital Nord de Marseille. My professional experiences abroad in Columbia University (New York City, USA) and Inselspital - University Hospital of Bern (Bern, Switzerland) improved my clinical skills and knowledge in Dermatology, as well as my success in ECFMG certification (USA). I graduated from several inter-university diplomas in Internal Medicine, Pediatric Dermatology, Dermatological Laser and Dermatological Surgery. My works have been published in international peer-reviewed journals and I am regularly invited as speaker in international congresses. I investigated in various fields, ranging from infectious and inflammatory diseases to onco-dermatology, laser and surgery. 

I am currently Assistant Professor in Dermatology at the University of Bern. As the Vice-President of the Scientific Council of the French  Society of Laser in Dermatology and the coordinator of the "NextGen Dermatology"  sessions of IMCAS congress, I encouraged young dermatologists in learning and practicing dermatological lasers and surgery. I am a Certified Mohs Surgeon from the European Society for Micrographic Surgery.

I am currently working in Switzerland as Head of the department of dermatological surgery at Inselspital-University Hospital of Bern and at Clinique La Prairie in Clarens-Montreux.
