Description:
The conference will be different from the 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.

Educational Objectives:
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:
•  Summarize the current trends and future innovations associated with clinical dermatology and dermatopathology.
•  Apply an improved knowledge base of the various treatment options and the use of multiple modalities in treating specific dermatologic disorders.
•  Describe the basic principles for the treatment of dermatologic disorders including biologics, combination therapy and the future of treatment.
•  Apply learned skills about the clinical and histopathology features, management and treatment of common skin cancers and non-cancerous skin disorders
•  Assess the use of physical therapies in the treatment of skin lesions including cryotherapy, radiation therapy, photodynamic therapy, and light therapy.
