This is to let you know that the paper based on the cases we discussed with Dr. Pedram Gerami during the 2025 Dermpedia Course on Genetic Pathological Correlations is published. The link to this paper is https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cup.70049 . Dr. Gerami and I discuss all these case during our Course. It is amazing opportunity to learn about these fascinating lesions.

Within the next few weeks, we will be updating the Dermpedia website to make it more mobile friendly. A part of the effort includes buiding Dermpedia Apps which will be avialable on the Apple and Google webstores. Stay tuned.

This is to let you know that the On-demand 2025 Dermpedia CME Course is now available. This is the best resource for those who want to learn how to incorporate genetic information into assessment of melanocytic lesions. Most importantly, genetic pathologic correlation will allow you to become a better morphologist even if you do not have access to the avanced genetic tools. Dr. Gerami and I share experience gained from reporting 100s of challenging melanocytic lesions analyzed by Nex Gen sequencing. https://dermpedia.org/programs/2025-dermpedia-on-demand-cme-course-genetic-pathological-correlations-in-non-spitz-melanocytic-tumors?category_id=31903

Dr. Pedram Gerami and I spent this weekend working on the upcoming Dermpedia Dermatopathology CME Course on Genetic-Pathological Correlations in Non-Spitz Tumors. The contents is awesome. This is going to be the Dermatopathology Event Of The Year you do not want to miss.

I am finally back in the office after the travel season in March. It is nice to get back to the routine schedule. I have learned during my travels that people want to travel again for CMEs and that there is shortage of pathologists with increased interest in hiring locums and consultations. I have been approached by companies looking to provide consultation services using digital platforms, i.e. Uber for dermatopathology.

A flashback from the past -  https://www.darkdaily.com/2009/11/20/meet-the-virtual-dermatopathology-lab-doing-global-business-from-boston-120/ It took longer for telepathology to reach the mainstream that we thougth. I was and still am one of the pioneers in this space. I  think that finally it is a matter of a few years before I will be signing out consults digitally at www.dermatopathologyconsultations.com. While it does not make any sense to scan the slides when the diagnosis can be made by putting it on the microscope, it is happening!
