Program Overview
The conference will be different from typical dermatology conferences in that we will emphasize clinicopathologic correlation and how dermatopathologists and dermatologists can work together to establish accurate diagnoses and plan optimal treatment. Furthermore, the conference will also emphasize how clinicopathologic correlation can guide research, new treatment options, and device product development within dermatology. Thus, it is more important than ever to understand the close cross-fertilization that occurs among dermatology, dermatopathology, and industry. While the conference will provide a rich educational experience, this interaction between dermatology, dermatopathology, and industry will be explored in a number of different sessions and lectures throughout the symposium. This meeting will also allow ample opportunity for networking of attendees with industry leaders who will be welcomed into all educational sessions. The conference will also benefit physicians in industry who interact with clinicians and other researchers. It will also be beneficial to residents and fellows preparing for certifying examinations or attending physicians preparing for their recertification exams.

Learning Outcomes
Educational offerings are intended to increase competency, influence performance, or improve patient outcomes.
