EMPOWER. EDUCATE. ADVANCE.
For the past 30 years, DermPAsTM have found a place to connect, learn, advocate, and enhance their own professional development through the Society of Dermatology Physician Assistants. As we embark upon our next 30 years, it is our goal to continue to offer innovative educational opportunities to our members. Leading the way are our two annual dermatology conferences. We extend a warm welcome to you and hope to see you in San Diego in June.
DermPAsTM from around the country will convene onsite for four days of excellent continuing education, professional networking, and special events. The SDPA partners with nationally recognized medical directors to develop innovative and informative session content, taught by distinguished faculty members renowned in the dermatology field.
Whether you have years of experience or are new to dermatology, you will return home to your patients with numerous pearls of information and treatment options to ensure you are providing them with the best care possible.
