CORPORATE PARTNERSHIP INFORMATION
Attending and sponsoring the AACD Annual Meeting is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to influence the future of dermatology education. The meeting includes a one-hour “Networking with Industry” session, during which all attendees learn from and connect with our industry partners. This networking session is mandatory for all resident attendees, and we anticipate that all faculty attendees will join as well. Industry partners will engage with both cosmetic dermatology faculty, dermatology residents, and cosmetic dermatology fellows during the networking session and during small group discussions. These small groups, outlined in the meeting agenda, will directly impact the AACD’s efforts to shape dermatology resident education in the upcoming year.
