As part of our 10th Anniversary celebration, we will be holding a Tropical Reception on Thursday evening for all participants.  Come enjoy the tropical weather, music and conversation plus delectable items to devour. 

We will also be awarding door prizes to registrants at random during the break sessions.  These items will be to help you enjoy your time in Key West!  Several of these are tickets to some of our favorite attractions or ways to enjoy the beautiful Casa Marina Resort that we are staying in. We will also be awarding one lucky participant free registration to next year’s event to be held June 2-6, 2010, here at the beautiful Casa Marina Resort.

Primary care providers (PCP's) are under increasing pressure from managed care organizations to broaden their scope of practice. Dermatology, in particular, has been identified as a high priority in several needsassessment surveys for Continuing Medical Education. Several mini-symposia, focusing on the diagnosis and management of common skin problems likely to be encountered by the PCP, will be presented by a distinguished faculty. Interactive workshops have been designed in this program to develop your dermatological surgery skills, challenge your diagnostic acumen and enhance your mastery of coding & documentation.

This program is intended for primary care providers (Physicians, PAs, ARNP's, Podiatrists) that treat common dermatological conditions in their office.

Upon the completion of this program, the participant should be able to:

• Describe abnormal skin lesions and common eruptions.
• Formulate a differential diagnosis of common dermatoses and lesions.
• Recognize the essential criteria for definitive diagnosis of common dermatological conditions.
• Commence with a cost-effective treatment program.
• Perform routine dermatological surgical procedures.
• Correctly document E/M services.
• Accurately code for dermatological procedures.
