This is a live, in-person event, with a virtual attendance option available.
NIDIskin is an educational company which exists solely for the purpose of curating the most innovative and effective educational content for Dermatologists and Pathologists. We engage thought leaders at the top of their field to share their knowledge and approach to the latest and greatest in diagnostic techniques, technologies, and treatments in Dermatology and Dermatopathology.
The NIDIskin Spring Symposium combines our original classic Confocal Microscopy Reader’s Course with our groundbreaking Evidence-Based Dermatology Lecture Series.
The NIDIskin Spring Symposium is the first accredited Confocal Microscopy Reader’s course in the United States, and the only one of its kind in the world, where attendees begin their journey toward mastering a new specialty, gain basic proficiency in two days, and can practice signing real cases in our proprietary simulation portal that mimics the experience of signing cases in real life.
In addition to our Confocal Reader’s Course, we offer an Evidence-Based Dermatology Lecture Series, where panels of leading clinicians and thought-leaders will offer evidence-based diagnoses and management recommendations on live cases. We let the attendees control the classroom and the resulting discussion and audience participation are dynamic!
In the past, we have welcomed attendees from all over the United States as well as Europe and South America. This year we are expecting our largest audience to date, including some who are returning to the Reader’s Course, which is why we are offering more advanced subject matter on more diagnoses than ever before.
This year, we are thrilled to launch the world’s first certificate in non-invasive diagnostics in skin! Open to dermatology and pathology residents, as well as fully trained professionals in the field, the certificate will be awarded after successful completion of two exams at the spring symposium: a written test and an oral exam conducted by a confocal expert at the conference. Stay tuned for more details in the coming months!
