NIDIskin Fall Symposium: Confocal Microscopy Reader’s Course

Date & Location

Friday, October 11, 2019, 7:30 AM – 5:30pm
Saturday, October 12, 2019, 8:00am – 5:15 PM
Cardinal Hall – Stanford University Conference Center
505 Broadway, Redwood City, CA 94063

Overview

The NIDIskin Confocal Microscopy Reader’s Course is the only live course in the United States where attendees can gain general proficiency in reading RCM images through lectures, interactive sessions, and live practice cases.

Statement of Need

Reading RCM images has not yet become a part of standard Dermatology and Dermatopathology curricula in the United States because there are not enough qualified readers to teach the specialty. Doctors and pathologists who want to learn do not have enough cases to practice on.

Target Audience

Dermatologists and Dermatopathologists

Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
1. Analyze the basic patterns of reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) of the skin.
2. Distinguish skin cancer from benign lesions using RCM.
3. Discern when to user non-invasive tools (i.e. RCM) in a clinical setting.
4. Develop strategies to incorporate RCM into a clinical practice when appropriate.

Registration

Registration has closed for this event. On-site registration will be available.

Accreditation

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 Stanford University School of Medicine and NIDIskin. The Stanford University School of Medicine is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

Credit Designation

The Stanford University School of Medicine designates this activity for a maximum of 15.25 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

The California Board of Registered Nursing recognizes that Continuing Medical Education (CME) is acceptable for meeting RN continuing education requirements as long as the course is certified for AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM (rn.ca.gov). Nurses will receive a Certificate of Participation following this activity that may be used for license renewal.
