The Medical Dermatology Society (MDS) is made up of the thought leaders in clinical dermatology and the teachers of the next generation of practicing dermatologists, including many residency program directors, division chiefs, and department chairs. The Medical Dermatology Society’s (MDS) mission is to improve the care of patients whose skin diseases or therapies have substantial systemic consequences; foster research in medical dermatology and assure medical dermatology expertise in community and academic settings.
The Medical Dermatology Scientific Annual Symposium is held just prior to the American Academy of Dermatology’s (AAD) spring meeting and the attendees include dermatologists at academic medical centers, in private practice, and dermatology Residents / Post-Doctoral Fellows who are focused on the care of patients with medical conditions or whose diseases of the skin require systemically administered medications.
In March, the 2023 meeting was held in New Orleans, Louisiana, and over 300 dermatologists; which included Residents, Post-Docs, and Medical Students registered to attend the Annual Symposium. Attendees listened to the latest advances in medical dermatology research and patient care innovations. The audience members were comprised of 78% Academicians, 2% in Private Practice, and 20% Resident / Post-Docs / Medical Students.
The MDS will once again hold its Annual Scientific Symposium live in advance of the AAD Annual Meeting on Thursday, March 7, 2024. We eagerly anticipate another record-setting attendance of top international and national medical dermatologists research fellows and residents.
As we prepare our scientific program, we enthusiastically look forward to the day we can welcome our members and our sponsors to “America’s Brightest City”.
