Quality education is a central pillar of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery. The showcase of the Society’s educational efforts is its Annual Meeting, which takes place every fall. ASDS also provides Continuing Medical Education Courses throughout the year, and offers CME credit through its educational DVD products.
ASDS sponsors research in aesthetic medicine and surgery; core surgical procedures and techniques; cutaneous oncology and new technologies including non-invasive techniques and topical active compounds as part of the Cutting Edge Research Grant program. The ASDS Research Work Group encourages the submission of well-conceived clinical research projects which stimulate the transfer of new technologies from the clinical setting or laboratory to the clinical Dermatologic Surgery practice.
