2nd Annual Mayo Clinic Dermatology Fall Conference
Course Directors: Aaron Mangold, M.D. and Mark R. Pittelkow, M.D.
Guest Faculty : Abel Torres M.D., J.D.; Cleveland Clinic; Cleveland OH
This course involves the examination of 12-15 patients with complex medical and dermatological diagnoses. The prior year’s course was a success and was well received by the community. As part of improvement, it was requested that the meeting have additional educational content with a keynote speaker as well as offer more educational opportunity.
Based on feedback from our 2015 course, this year we will expand upon the past format with a more formalized presentation process. Course participants will meet in conference to develop differential diagnosis. The pathologist project histologic images and discusses the pathology. Open discussion follows with an expert panel to discuss topics related to dermatologic conditions diagnosis, management and associated testing. At the conclusion of the patient discussion, there will be an educational lecture.
This course is Offered in Collaboration with Phoenix Dermatologic Society 2016
