Our Mission, and Our Programs

The mission of Masterclasses in Dermatology is to provide state-of-the-art
interdisciplinary education to dermatologists and other clinicians in the dermatology field.

We are firm believers in learning across multiple medical specialties, as we feel it helps strengthen diagnostic and treatment skills and provides a broader frame of reference when treating patients.

We are proud to present the only interdisciplinary education, created by expert dermatologists, and geared specifically to dermatologists. Our annual meeting consists of a curriculum covering a wide range of medical and surgical diseases, imaging techniques, cutting-edge innovations, and advocacy. We present lectures and interactive discussions led by experts in the fields of dermatology, rheumatology, infectious disease, gastroenterology, and more. This meeting also offers the opportunity to network with peers and interact with industry professionals.
