Peer Review Program

Participation in the ASMS Proficiency Testing program is required on an annual basis for Fellow members. Non-Fellow members may participate on a voluntary basis. This program is unique and progressive among Mohs surgeons, and is recognized as a valuable membership benefit. The Proficiency Testing program is a direct reflection of our commitment to the ongoing quality and competency of our members.

Clinical Observational Preceptorship Program

The ASMS has established the Clinical Observational Preceptorship program to promote and expand educational opportunities relative to Mohs surgery. Observation takes place in the offices of a variety of skilled and experienced member dermatologic surgeons. Closure considerations, as well as a large number of frozen sections from past cases, are reviewed during the observational experience. Preceptees are able to expand on techniques learned during the Fundamentals of Mohs Surgery course.

Preceptee participation is limited to ASMS member dermatologists with prior Fundamentals of Mohs Surgery course attendance. The program consists of three one-week sessions with individual preceptors, to be completed over a two-year period. Tuition is used by the ASMS in the development and support of its ongoing educational objectives. Individual member physicians volunteer their time to participate on the faculty of the Preceptorship program.
