The NIDIskin Confocal Microscopy Reader’s Course is the only live course in the United States where attendees can gain general proficiency in reading RCM images through lectures, interactive sessions, and live practice cases.

Statement of Need
Reading RCM images has not yet become a part of standard Dermatology and Dermatopathology curricula in the United States because there are not enough qualified readers to teach the specialty. Doctors and pathologists who want to learn do not have enough cases to practice on.

Target Audience
Dermatologists and Dermatopathologists

1. Analyze the basic patterns of reflectance confocal microscopy of the skin
2. Distinguish skin cancer from benign lesions using RCM
3. Discern when to use non-invasive tools (i.e. RCM) in a clinical setting
4. Develop strategies to incorporate RCM into a clinical practice when appropriate.

The Stanford University School of Medicine adheres to ACCME Criteria, Standards and Policies regarding industry support of continuing medical education. Disclosure of faculty and their commercial relationships will be made prior to the activity.
