Education
* Dermatologists have the privilege of providing a wide variety of medical and surgical care
* This requires that we stay up to date in our knowledge and well trained in our skills
* This is the primary purpose of the PDA
* No political agenda
* No commercial interests
* Meeting is not designed to make money for an individual, company, university department or to support any other agenda
* Content is controlled by the volunteer executive committee and the program chairman who is appointed by the committee
Education and the PDA
* Clinicopathologic correlation which is at core of dermatology training is a focus (CPC conference)
* Dermatologists have a unique microscopic visual understanding of the skin at a cellular level

* Practical and cutting-edge presentations on a full range of medical and surgical dermatological topics
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
Collegiality/Networking
* Relaxed social time verses overly scheduled lecture time often stimulates ideas
* Cocktail conversations often provide the most useful practice tips
