Target Audience

The 2023 CalDerm Symposium is designed to meet the educational needs of board certified dermatologists, dermatologic surgeons, and allied health professionals involved in the care of patients with cutaneious diseases or those who require other cosmetic and surgical dermatology treatments. Most participants practice primarily in the state of California.

Program Overview

This year, in particular, has showcased both the challenges and resilience of healthcare practitioners around the world. In California, medical practitioners are faced with novel infections and increased patient loads while managing their existing patients’ health and well-being. The dermatology community is now charged with navigating this new environment, and its impact on patients and practices, while continuing to stay up-to-date on advances in dermatologic treatments and procedures. Their need for distilled and effective continuing education is more pronounced than ever. 

During this time of evolution in both the delivery of medical services and health education, the California Society of Dermatology & Dermatologic Surgery (CalDerm) continues to provide valuable multi-faceted continuing education for the dermatology field. CalDerm has developed the 2023 CalDerm Symposium in Carlsbad, CA, September 22 – 24, 2023 to offer general lecture presentations for all dermatology practitioners, as well as sessions devoted specifically to residents, young physicians entering the field, and veteran clinicians preparing for maintenance-of-certification exams. Now in its 23rd year, the CalDerm Symposium is the premier continuing medical education opportunity for board-certified dermatologists and dermatology residents in California.
