LINCOLN MARCH 2024
This state-of-the-art equipment underscores our commitment to excellence in patient care and resident education. With its advanced features, the microscope serves as an optimal tool for ensuring a robust clinical-pathologic correlation for all biopsies performed in the dermatology department. Accurate diagnosis of neoplastic and inflammatory skin disease relies heavily on correlation between clinical and pathologic findings. The multi- headed functionality of the new microscope facilitates seamless
collaboration between our dermatologists and dermatopathologist. Dr. Maira Fonseca, Chair of the Department of Dermatology, shared her thoughts on this recent acquisition: “Lincoln’s investment in this state-of-the-art equipment empowers our dermatologists to collaboratively analyze skin biopsy specimens with our dermatopathologist, Dr. Adnan Mir. This real-time discussion of the patient’s clinical presentation and pathology findings allows us to give patients accurate diagnoses, which ultimately have a profound impact on patient care.” The multi-headed microscope also serves as an invaluable tool for teaching dermatopathology
to the Weill Cornell dermatology residents who rotate at NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln. Its multi-user capability and high-resolution imaging enable residents to view their own biopsies, actively participate in case discussions, gain hands-on experience, and deepen their understanding of dermatopathology. This collaborative approach fosters a culture of knowledge sharing and continuous learning within our department. By leveraging the best technology available in dermatopathology, we aim to enhance diagnostic accuracy, improve patient outcomes and satisfaction, and ensure an optimal learning environment for our resident physicians.
