The FMEC is excited to share a sampling of seminars from our 2022 Annual Meeting with faculty, residents and students throughout the region. The sessions are some of the many highly-rated seminars that were presented in Arlington, VA in September 2022. Like the FMEC meeting, they cover topics ranging from patient care to medical education to leadership and advocacy. The presenters have graciously agreed to present them again virtually, so everyone can benefit.  Learn more

Next Session:  Thursday, June 8, 2023, 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm Eastern
Common Pediatric Rashes from a Black Lives Matter Perspective
Link to register

Substantial health disparities exist in the diagnosis, treatment and long-term management of dermatological conditions in children. This can be partly attributed to training deficits in medical school and residency. This session will review the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of common pediatric rashes using only photos with darker skin tones as defined by the Fitzpatrick Scale. Improved diagnostic skills will be achieved through review of existing health disparities literature, interactive patient cases in small groups, and use of the VisualDx mobile application.
