Workshop directors Drs. Ramona Behshad, David R. Carr, and Christine H. Weinberger, alongside course faculty, will demonstrate and instruct Fellows-in-Training on how to perform multiple skin flaps on surgical training models. There will be one faculty member paired with 2-3 Fellows-in-Training for each surgical head. This will be an invaluable experience for Fellows-in-Training to gain individualized knowledge by working alongside experienced Mohs surgeons. The workshop will take place at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown and the registration fee includes breakfast & lunch (for workshop registrants only). Space is limited and granted on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration deadline was March 15, 2022.

Hand & Nail Workshop (ACMS members)

Directors: Todd V. Cartee, MD, FACMS; Nathaniel J. Jellinek, MD, FACMS
Faculty: Julia O. Baltz, MD; Katharine Cordova, MD, FACMS; Thomas J. Knackstedt, MD, FACMS; Christopher J. Miller, MD, FACMS; Joseph F. Sobanko, MD, FACMS; Robert J. Willard, MD, FACMS

Directed by Drs. Todd Cartee and Nathaniel Jellinek this workshop is geared toward all levels of nail surgeons, from beginner and intermediate to advanced levels. It offers small group, hands-on experience practicing a variety of nail surgery techniques. Participants will be instructed on partial and complete nail avulsions, how to perform multiple different nail procedures (including punch, shave, and Longitudinal biopsy techniques, how to perform Mohs surgery for nail malignancies, and how to treat nail melanoma with en bloc excision of the entire nail unit). Approaches to patient assessment, including surgical planning, equipment/suture selection, and anatomical considerations to optimize outcomes will be covered. Anatomy, as it relates to safe surgical technique, will be stressed. Fresh frozen cadaveric hands that allow for realistic hands-on practice will be utilized. The workshop will be held at the University of Pennsylvania Human Tissue Laboratory; shuttle service for participants will be provided. Space is limited to 40 registrants and granted on a first-come, first-served basis, with 2 participants per cadaveric hand. Registrants and faculty are subject to a COVID test prior to participation per requirements of the University of Pennsylvania Human Tissue Laboratory.

Fellows-in-Training Mohs Surgery Histotechnology & Lab Set up Workshop

Director: Linda Cesario, DPM, HT (ASCP)
Faculty: Daniel H. Gong, MS, MSO, C-PM

A high-quality microscopic slide is critical for complete diagnostic interpretation, resulting in optimal patient care. This workshop will cover grossing/mapping, embedding, hands-on cryosectioning, and routine staining. How does the surgical component affect the laboratory outcome? We will also discuss lab setup, including the CLIA application process.
