Gross & Microscopic Symposium

Qualifications

All members of the Academy are invited to submit case presentations for review and selection. Non-members and guests from outside the United States are welcome to submit case presentations provided the abstracts are submitted in English. Non-members who wish to participate will be required to register for the Annual Meeting as a non-member at the non-member fee.

Presentations

The Gross & Microscopic Dermatology Symposium provides an opportunity for a 4-minute presentation of clinical and investigative studies of patients and their disease. Studies appropriate for consideration should focus on common diseases with unusual facets or unusual diseases with attendant teaching value. A maximum of 270 abstracts can be accepted for oral presentation.

Presentations should follow a logical order and include patient history, biopsies, laboratory data, diagnosis and treatment. Visual quality of the clinical and microscopic pathology is of paramount importance. Selection of abstracts depends on the clarity and accuracy of the information presented.
