Rohrer's Mohs cases in calendar year 2020. The documented reviews were performed on 8/16/19, 10/22/19, and 11/3/2020. The histotechnician interviewed on 6/15/21 at 1:58 P.M. verified that the twice annual peer slide review for Dr. Thomas E. Rohrer's Mohs cases in calendar year 2020 was only performed once in 2020. .
