Morbidity and Mortality for the Medical Dermatologist: Case-Based Lessons

Description

In this session on morbidity and mortality for medical dermatologists, led by Dan Miller, Associate Professor at the University of Minnesota, the focus is on discussing challenging medical cases, particularly those involving errors or complications from treatments. The session aims to foster an open environment for reflection and discussion without judgment, encouraging participants to learn from each other's experiences with complex dermatological cases. The format includes presentations by four expert panels, each paired with residents or fellows, who will review cases in a morbidity and mortality style, inviting questions and discussions among attendees. The goal is to identify complications in management and potential sources of medical error while addressing adverse outcomes in dermatology, with case examples from hospitals including UCSF, MUSC, and Penn.
