The American Society for Mohs Surgery (ASMS) was founded in 1990 by a small group of dermatologists in Southern California, all of whom had received extensive Mohs training in Residency and had successfully integrated the Mohs technique into their practices. The ASMS was envisioned as a professional medical society that would provide important professional and educational support for the increasing number of Residency-trained Mohs surgeons throughout the country. Today the ASMS continues to place a strong emphasis on high-quality dermatologic education, with our programs encompassing surgical skill development and refinement, improved performance in practice, and enhanced patient outcomes in Mohs surgery and related techniques. One of our two annual courses is devoted exclusively to Mohs surgery and provides dermatologists with a detailed overview of the technique and guidelines for establishing safe, efficient Mohs practices. The ASMS recognizes the important support role of the Mohs technician in the successful performance of Mohs surgery, and hands-on technician training is a regular component of the annual Fundamentals of Mohs Surgery course.
