Masters of Pathology : Dermatopathology 2023
Dermatopathology: Masters of Pathology Series covers a large variety of topics related to both neoplastic and inflammatory dermatopathology. Presenters emphasize practical issues and diagnostic challenges, as well as new and emerging entities. Lectures in this online CME course are heavily illustrated, featuring thorough discussions of the diagnostic criteria, work-up, and differential diagnosis of challenging cases.
Through informative microscopy sessions and practical discussions, this dermatopathology continuing medical education program will reinforce your fundamental clinical knowledge and help you to:
- Render difficult diagnoses with more confidence
- Gain familiarity with ancillary tests
- Identify pitfalls, including the lack of relevant clinical information and sampling errors
- Recognize the broad morphologic spectrum of both inflammatory and neoplastic disorders
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, the participant will be able to:
- Explain the broad spectrum of neoplastic and inflammator diseases in dermatopathology
- Diagnose challenging entities with more confidence
- Better understand the use of ancillary tests
- Use the clinical information appropriately to form a differential diagnosis and a preferred diagnosis
- Describe the differential diagnosis
- Identify the clinical implications of the individual entities
Intended Audience
This educational activity is intended for practicing pathologists.
