Basal & Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Unfortunately due to Covid-19, we have made the hard decision to cancel this meeting, but stay tuned for additional educational options.
2020 Basal & Squamous Cell Cancer Dermatopathology
Faculty
Henry D. Haskell, M.D. and Jason S. Stratton, M.D. – Board-certified dermatopathologists based in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Course Background
First introduced in 2013, this annual course focuses on the “pure pathology” aspects of basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas, the most common skin cancers treated by Mohs surgery. Dermatologists and other specialists interested in performing this highly-effective treatment for skin cancer will benefit from this focused discussion of BCC and SCC tumor characteristics.
Accreditation and Credit Designation Statements
This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of PeerPoint Medical Education Institute and the Client Name. PeerPoint Medical Education Institute is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
PeerPoint Medical Education Institute designates the live format for this educational activity for a maximum of 16 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
Format
Day 1 is the Introductory Session, followed by the Advanced Session on day 2. Participants may register for one or both days of instruction. Instructional time is divided between lectures and microscope lab exercises designed to foster an understanding of different presentations of BCC and SCC under the microscope, differentiate these from other structures encountered in Mohs-excised tissue, and recognize any reparative findings present at the site of prior biopsy.
Follow-up Mohs Slide Review Session
Attendees also may wish to register for the Slide Review portion of the Fundamentals of Mohs Surgery course on November 9-12, immediately following the Dermatopathology course. This will provide an opportunity for physicians to integrate new BCC and SCC histopathology knowledge and understanding with the interpretation of Mohs slides available in our FMS case library. Prior FMS attendance needed in order to attend the Slide Review portion only of the course.
Fees
See course brochure for complete fee structure. Discounted registration fees will apply to physicians registering for combined Histopathology Pathology and Fundamentals of Mohs Surgery courses. Additional discounts apply for current ASMS members and Residents or Active Duty Military.
