This Memorial Day Weekend, attendees of Dermatologic Surgery: Focus on Skin Cancer will participate in an exciting educational program, within the “jewel box” atmosphere of coastal Orange County, California. Adjacent to the hotel, within walking distance, is Fashion Island, an exquisite open-air shopping experience, featuring beautiful architectural details, tranquil fountains, and an assortment of gourmet and pampering activities to maximize the vacation feel of the destination.

Other nearby leisure pursuits include the quaint Balboa Island, Corona del Mar, Catalina Island, Disneyland, and Laguna Beach – plus five area golf courses, peaceful hiking trails, sparkling tide pools and other natural sanctuaries, and spectacular harbor cruises.

Program Overview

Meeting directors have incorporated new topics that highlight the latest advances in skin cancer diagnosis and treatment, comprehensive literature reviews, and stimulating panel discussions covering novel reconstruction approaches, melanoma treatment options, and the management of challenging non-melanoma tumors. Other topics address changing practice dynamics for derm surgeons.

Elective laboratory microscope sessions on Thursday, Friday and Saturday afternoons feature both challenging Mohs cases and other “unknown” tumors presented by dermatopathologists on faculty. Face-to-face small group sessions will add another valuable dimension to these dermatopathology exercises.
