How does a busy dermatologist decide which sessions to attend at the American Academy of Dermatology’s annual meeting? Dr. Ronald Rapini of the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston has some advice.
The choice of top sessions depends on your background, experience, and what you hope to get out of the meeting, Dr. Rapini said in an interview.
“Some attendees will prefer to go to hear about subjects in their areas of interest, whereas others will purposely go to other things in which they have had no interest in the past, just to be updated,” he said. “I have seen old timer dermatologists attend a basic dermatopathology course, for example, just to update themselves in something they don’t deal with much, even though they may not even read their own slides anymore,” he added.
“Residents in particular can especially benefit from the tactic of attacking subjects that tend to be lacking at their home programs,” Dr. Rapini noted.
