Overview
We are excited to be back with our 4th Annual Basic Course in Reflectance Confocal Microscopy (RCM) course, after the immense success of our last three annual courses. RCM is a non-invasive device that images skin lesions at high resolution in vivo similar to traditional pathology. This course is tailored for both novices and clinicians with 5 years of implementing RCM in their clinic setting. Based on the feedback from last year’s course, we are adding a half-day to the program focused on ex vivo confocal microscopy (EVCM). EVCM can rapidly image freshly excised tissue (without tissue processing and cutting) and is being explored as an alternative to frozen sectioning for a variety of tissues including tumor margin assessment during Mohs surgery.
This one and half-day, live virtual course will bring together national and international experts and confocal faculty. Each day will include multiple engaging and fun Kahoot quizzes to test your knowledge and stimulate your appetite for learning. During the break sessions, you will have the opportunity to interact with the course faculty. You will develop a familiarity with the basics of in vivo and ex vivo confocal microscopy, learn to differentiate routinely encountered benign cutaneous neoplasm from malignant neoplasm, and integrate RCM into your routine clinical workflow. In addition to the live virtual course, we are excited to offer learners a pre-recorded basic dermoscopy session given by world-renowned dermoscopist, Dr. Ashfaq Marghoob.
Day 1 (8:45 am-5:50 pm) – RCM (In Vivo) Sessions
- Basics: Fundamentals of RCM, terminology, and RCM features for neoplastic lesions
- Pre-recorded demos on the use of the RCM scopes.
- Practical aspects of integrating RCM in clinical and dermatological surgery (case-based discussion, billing codes, signing-out reports, and small break-out group case discussion with the experts).
Day 2 (8:45 am-2:00 pm) – New Addition! Ex Vivo Confocal Microscopy (EVCM) Sessions
- Introduction and role of EVCM.
- EVCM features of normal skin structures, skin neoplasms (melanocytic and non-melanocytic), and inflammatory lesions.
Pre-recorded Videos (click your ‘My CME’ tab and select ‘Syllabus’)
