5th Annual Workshop on Confocal Microscopy for Cutaneous Diagnostics - On Demand

Friday, January 20, 2023, 7:30 AM - Wednesday, August 30, 2023, 11:00 PM

Reflectance Confocal Microscopy (RCM) is a non-invasive device that images skin lesions at high resolution in vivo similar to traditional pathology. This on demand program is tailored for both novices and experts clinicians practicing RCM in clinics.

In addition to in vivo, this offering contains talks on ex vivo confocal microscopy (EVCM) which can rapidly image freshly excised tissue (without tissue processing and cutting) and is being explored as an alternative to frozen sectioning for a variety of tissues including tumor margin assessment during Mohs surgery.

Additionally, included in this on demand offering is a basic dermoscopy course given by world renowned dermoscopist, Dr. Ashfaq Marghoob

Expert, national and international, confocal faculty will help you develop familiarity with the basics of in vivo and ex vivo confocal microscopy, such as:

• RCM (In Vivo)
  • Basics: fundamentals of RCM, terminology and RCM features for neoplastic lesions
  • Practical aspect of integrating RCM in clinical and dermatological surgery (case-based discussion, billing codes, signing-out reports, and small break-out group case discussion with the experts)
• Ex Vivo Confocal Microscopy (EVCM)
  • Introduction and role of EVCM
  • EVCM features of normal skin structures, skin neoplasms (melanocytic and non-melanocytic), and inflammatory lesions

This on demand also includes several pre-recordedKahoot! quizzes. While you will not be able to participate live, you are welcome to play along and answer the questions on your own to test your knowledge against those in the live audience.
