BCC & SCC Dermatopathology Course
The ASMS Dermatopathology course is a “pure pathology” educational experience, with a focus on basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas –the skin cancers most often treated with Mohs surgery. It is designed as a refresher course for dermatologists and a more intensive learning activity for other specialists without prior residency training in skin pathology. Day 1 includes lectures and the opportunity to view numerous BCC and SCC pathology slides under the microscope. Day 2 features examination and discussion of Mohs histopathology slides by pathologists and Mohs surgeons using a video microscope to project case slide images.

Fundamentals of Mohs Surgery Course for Technicians
The roles of the Mohs surgeon and technician are critically interwoven in the successful performance of Mohs surgery. Therefore, technician training is an important aspect of the Fundamentals of Mohs Surgery course. This technician session runs concurrently with the physician training and provides the basic tenets of Mohs tissue processing, equipment maintenance, safety concerns, and regulatory standards. The course is geared to beginners, but more experienced techs will receive additional troubleshooting advice and quality assurance advice as best meets their needs. Faculty members are adept at working with trainees of all skill and experience levels, and will help each to improve efficiency, gain confidence, and reach their potential as valuable members of the Mohs surgical team.
