  • Systematic Skin Exam: Closer Look Project Chapter 3 Training for Personal care pros
    Mar 4 2026

    Welcome to Chapter 3 of the Closer Look Project referral network training. In this session, we dive deep into the Systematic Skin Exam—a vital skill designed specifically for the "front-line" of skin health: personal care professionals.

    Whether you are a hairdresser, barber, nail tech, aesthetician, massage therapist, makeup artist, tattoo artist, or piercer, your unique proximity to clients makes you a lifesaver. This lecture is also an essential resource for new healthcare providers and clinical personnel looking to sharpen their assessment skills.

    Tune in to learn:

    • How to perform a thorough, professional skin check.

    • Techniques to ensure no suspicious lesion goes unnoticed.

    • The "Closer Look" approach to client safety and professional referral.

    Don't just see the skin—know what you're looking at.

  • The Canvas - Skin Anatomy & Lesion Recognition
    Feb 16 2026

    In Chapter 2 of the Closer Look Project Referral Network Masterclass, we transition from the "why" to the "how." To catch concerns early, we must first understand the landscape of the skin and how to identify when something isn't right.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • The Blueprint: A deep dive into the layers of the skin—the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis—and the vital functions they perform for the body.

    • The Spectrum of Lesions: How to differentiate between benign (harmless) growths, pre-cancerous changes, and malignant (cancerous) lesions.

    • Clinical Recognition: Key visual markers to look for during an assessment.

    • Skin of Color & Diversity: A critical discussion on how skin conditions and cancers present differently across diverse patient populations, ensuring no one is overlooked due to a lack of representative training.

    While the educational content remains free for all to view, the ability to utilize our clinical referral resources is reserved for those who have officially joined the network.

    Empower your practice for just $25:By purchasing the full program, you gain the tools to refer patients directly to specialized clinics, closing the gap between recognition and treatment.

  • Referral Network: The Masterclass
    Feb 13 2026

    Welcome to the inaugural episode of the Closer Look Project Referral Network Masterclass. In this session, we dive into Chapter 1 of the official handbook to lay the groundwork for everything to come.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • The Origin Story: Meet the author and learn the personal "why" behind the mission.

    • The Closer Look Project: What exactly is it, and why was it vital to form this initiative now?

    • Who We Serve: Identifying the key players and the communities that benefit most from this network.

    • The Mechanics: A step-by-step breakdown of how the referral system operates to create better outcomes.

    • Prevention & Risk Factors: A critical look at the early warning signs and the proactive steps necessary to make a difference.

    We believe education should be accessible. The educational content of this Masterclass is 100% free to watch and learn from.

    However, to move from education to action—utilizing our proprietary resources and officially referring patients to specialized clinics—enrollment in the full program is required.
