Inflammatory Dermpath 101 (A Beginner's Guide to Diagnosing Skin Rashes for Non-Dermatopathologists) 

A basic algorithmic approach to the microscopic diagnoses of inflammatory skin disease aimed at medical students, residents, general surgical pathologists, and other non-dermatopathologists. Presented virtually as the 2021 Bouldin Lectureship Grand Rounds lecture at the University of North Carolina Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, April 8, 2021. All images in the video are from my Survival Guide to Dermatopathology textbook (available here: bit.ly/2Te2haB). ‬
A complete organized library of all my videos, digital slides, pics, & sample pathology reports is available here: kikoxp.com/posts/5084 (dermpath) & kikoxp.com/posts/5083 (bone/soft tissue sarcoma pathology).
