7:00 am – 9:00 am<br />
Educational Needs<br />
This course is designed to in<strong>for</strong>m clinicians on the following educational needs: 1) confocal microscopy<br />
mechanisms <strong>and</strong> imaging of skin, with a review of clinical applications of confocal microscopy in dermatology<br />
<strong>for</strong> diagnosis, margin mapping, <strong>and</strong> treatment monitoring of skin cancers, <strong>and</strong> 2) optical coherence tomography<br />
mechanisms <strong>and</strong> imaging of blood vessels, with a review of clinical applications in cardiology <strong>for</strong> imaging of<br />
arteries, diagnosis of arterial disease, <strong>and</strong> monitoring of therapies.<br />
Participants<br />
This course is designed <strong>for</strong> any physician who is interested in learning more modern in vivo clinical microscopy<br />
imaging techniques, specifically confocal microscopy <strong>and</strong> optical coherence tomography.<br />
Background Requirements<br />
Participants should have a basic underst<strong>and</strong>ing of how light interacts with tissues.<br />
Instructional Content <strong>and</strong>/or Expected Learning Outcomes<br />
At the conclusion of the course, attendees will be in<strong>for</strong>med of current modern emerging in vivo clinical<br />
