Message from the President |

|
Welcome to the homepage of the Association of Professors of Dermatology (APD). Established in 1960, the objective of the Association is to promote
medical education, research, and patient care, particularly in undergraduate and graduate dermatology training programs. It was originally
created by and for the dermatology department chairs and division directors. However, as the complexity and sophistication needed to run
successful dermatology departments grew, the membership of the APD has appropriately expanded. We are now a diverse body that welcomes
everyone involved in academic dermatology. The Association provides a forum for discussion of problems and developments of mutual interests
to academic leaders and administrators of dermatology training programs in the United States. The APD also promotes liaison with other
organizations whose activities bear on the objectives of the Association. Our annual two-day meeting is held in the fall season, and it
offers incredibly valuable information for everyone involved in academic dermatology. If you work in that space, I invite you to join the APD!
