ASDS/A 2020 Annual Report

Diversity, equity and inclusion in patient care and physician practices remain a critical unmet need in the specialty. Our Society is providing education both for patient-facing needs and guiding improvement in the field of dermatology. An upcoming series of webinars will tackle these issues. Members can join the conversations around these topics happening in ASDS Connect, our digital, secure member-to-member community. Together we will grow awareness around minority groups and become part of the solution. We will emerge through pandemic recovery stronger than before. By facing these challenges head on, together, and being inclusive of all facets of our membership, ASDS/A will benefit from the strength in our diversity, our belief in science and our passion for our specialty and improving patient care.

Sincerely,

Mathew M. Avram, MD, JD

“Now is the time of opportunity for our Society and our specialty as we overcome the challenges of the pandemic and lead the way with a shared vision of the future.”
