In a press release, Dr Gelfand stated, “Dermatology Week is a unique, distraction-free learning experience where the focus will be on dermatology, not destination. With a program that is patient-centered, practical, and progressive, we will explore cutting-edge advancements from leading educators and rapidly translate findings into takeaways that improve knowledge and enhance clinical outcomes.”
Official partners of the conference include the National Psoriasis Foundation and the National Rosacea Society, though more partners will be announced in the following weeks.
The meeting, held virtually through the VRTX platform, will take a deep-dive look at updates in immune-mediated dermatologic conditions, patient management strategies, and expert perspectives into the best practices for medical and cosmetic dermatologic topics and practice management.
