What does it mean to be a “Fellowship-Trained” Mohs Surgeon?

Mohs micrographic surgery has become the new standard for skin cancer treatment. An increasing number of dermatologists are performing Mohs surgery, which is now widely known as the most effective treatment for most types of skin cancer. However, not all Mohs surgeons receive the same level of training as fellowship-trained Mohs surgeons.

Dr. Bobby has achieved the highest degree of Mohs surgery qualification by completing an American College of Mohs Surgery (ACMS) approved fellowship.

The ACMS was established by Dr. Frederic Mohs himself, and its fellowship training program is acknowledged as the benchmark in Mohs surgery training. Through an extensive application and interview process, only the most qualified physicians are selected by ACMS to participate in a fellowship program. Participants must undergo a rigorous 1 to 2 year training program subsequent to completing a residency in dermatology.

Fellowship trained doctors meet the following requirements in completing their ACMS fellowship:

  • Participate in a minimum of 500 Mohs surgery cases

  • Learn to accurately interpret slides of tissue samples removed during Mohs surgery

  • Perform a vast array of reconstructions, ranging from the simplest to the most complex, multi-step repairs

Dr. Bobby has the training and experience to achieve the best outcome from your skin cancer diagnosis and treatment.
