I have extensive experience in Mohs micrographic surgery, having assisted in over 200 procedures. My role involves preparing the surgical site, assisting the Mohs surgeon during the excision, and meticulously processing the tissue for histological examination. I am adept at using the Mohs microscope and interpreting histopathology slides to ensure accurate margin assessment.

I thrive in fast-paced environments by maintaining a structured approach and staying organized. I prioritize tasks, communicate effectively with the surgical team, and remain calm under pressure. My ability to multitask and adapt quickly ensures that each step of the Mohs procedure is executed efficiently and accurately.

Ensuring accuracy in tissue processing involves meticulous attention to detail and following standardized protocols. I carefully handle the tissue, ensuring it is properly labeled and oriented. I also double-check all steps, from embedding to staining, to minimize errors. Regular calibration of equipment and continuous education on best practices further enhance accuracy.

Effective collaboration is key in Mohs surgery. I maintain open communication with the Mohs surgeon, providing real-time updates on tissue processing and histopathology results. I also work closely with the histotechnologist to ensure the tissue is processed correctly and promptly. This teamwork ensures a seamless workflow and optimal patient outcomes.

Patient care and comfort are paramount in Mohs surgery. I ensure patients are well-informed about the procedure, addressing any concerns they may have. During the surgery, I monitor their comfort, provide reassurance, and manage any pain or anxiety. My goal is to create a supportive and compassionate environment, which is crucial for a successful surgical experience.
