Collegiality/Networking
  • A regional meeting gives you a chance to meet
    people in your area, especially if you did not
    train locally
  • Stimulates interaction and an exchange of ideas
    between dermatologists from Pacific Rim Countries
    and US

15
Collegiality/Networking
  • Relaxed social time verses overly scheduled
    lecture time often stimulates ideas
  • Cocktail conversations often provide the most
    useful practice tips

Collegiality/Networking

    direct contact
  • Online education is more passive

    opportunities for residents and young
    dermatologists

What Attendees Say
  • The educational content was excellent.  I enjoyed
    the discussions on surgical closures and the
    update on Botox and fillers.  I prefer smaller
    meetings, like the PDA as it is much more relaxed
    and you can ask more questions. Kelli Arntzen,

    valuable.  Karen Stolman, MDSandy, Utah9

Summary
  • The Golden Age of medicine wherein academics is
    revered and there is limited commercial pressure
    can be maintained if we continue to support
    organizations like the PDA whose main purpose is
    to serve its members ongoing educational needs.

Final Thought
  • "Education is a social process. Education is
    growth. Education is, not a preparation for life
    education is life itself. -John Dewey
