Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center 7th Annual Workshop on Confocal Microscopy for Cutaneous Diagnostics 2024

Overview

The Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center 7th Annual Workshop on Confocal Microscopy for Cutaneous Diagnostics 2024 offers comprehensive, on-demand education designed to advance expertise in confocal microscopy applied to dermatology and pathology. This course includes 32 videos and 1 PDF file, totaling 8.35 GB of content. On-demand dermatology education — accessible anytime, anywhere.

This workshop covers both reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM), a non-invasive imaging technique with CPT codes in the United States, and ex vivo confocal microscopy (EVCM), which provides rapid imaging of freshly excised tissue. The program is tailored to clinicians ranging from novices to experienced practitioners, introducing a multimodal imaging approach relevant to current dermatologic practice.

Agenda

This curriculum includes detailed lectures and interactive sessions focused on practical application and clinical integration of confocal microscopy in cutaneous diagnostics. Topics cover the fundamentals, image acquisition techniques, interpretation, and emerging modalities.
