The MDS is also committed to sharing knowledge, facilitatingcollaborative opportunities, and supporting the development of inspired dermatologists who will advance our specialty.With these objectives in mind, I am delighted to present to you 1) an update on our collaborative research efforts and 2)our Annual Meeting’s Scientific Program.Many of the diseases we treat carry significant potential morbidity and mortality. Yet, they are rare and difficult to study.You may recall that last year marked the first meeting of the MDS Research Working Group, whose goal is to tackle theseissues through collaborative research throughout the year. The Research Working Group is continuing to meet and isplanning cooperative efforts to push this initiative forward in a tangible way. Progress is being made and I am very excitedto see where this takes our field.The 25th Anniversary Program is exemplary and aims to highlight topics central to the practice of the medical dermatologist.The meeting planners have worked diligently to provide an educational experience that speaks to the advancementsmade in medical dermatology since the launch of the MDS 25 years ago. To begin, the abstracts presented this year areof particularly superb quality and were chosen from over 125 submissions! Multiple mini-keynote talks, covering a rangeof diseases, will be delivered by experts in those fields. Dr. Edward Cowen will discuss Graft vs Host disease, Dr. RobertMicheletti will focus on Stevens Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis, Dr. William McCoy will offer insighton the role of the microbiome in dermatology, and Dr. John Harris will present what is new in Vitiligo. Master cliniciansDr. Kathryn Schwarzenberger and Dr. Lela Lee will each offer pearls essential to the practicing medical dermatologist.This meeting denotes a very special milestone in the tenure of the MDS. To mark this special occasion, MDS founder’sDr’s. Jeffrey Callen, Richard Sontheimer and Victoria Werth will share with us their reflections on the MDS from its inceptionto current times.Finally, we look forward to celebrating the accomplishments and contributions of Master Clinician and MedicalDermatologist Dr. Timothy Berger, this year’s very deserving Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient.I would like to thank the members of the MDS Committees and Board who have worked throughout the year to ensure aquality meeting.Thank you for attending the MDS Annual Meeting and bringing your expertise and passion to our gathering.
