Corporate Partner Support

The American Academy of Dermatology values the support it receives from its corporate partners. Funding is used to further the Academy’s mission of promoting leadership in dermatology and excellence in patient care through education, research, and advocacy.

The consistent support of corporate partners allows the Academy to provide a wide variety of programs and services to its members and is vital to the continued advancement of the specialty of dermatology. Some of the programs and services that have been provided through your generous support are:

Enhancements to the Annual and Summer Academy Meetings. This includes shuttle bus service, housing and airfare for our Residents, the session handout on CD, and wireless Internet (WiFi) lounges, just to name a few.
Education about how and why the public should see dermatologists through our SKINnovations program and Web site support.
A variety of educational programs for our members, including the Practice Management Symposium, AAD Regional Dermatology Review Courses, DermClips, Dialogues in Dermatology, and many others.
Resources for our members, including the Membership Directory, Dermatology World, Directions in Residency, and Young Physician Focus Newsletters.
Subscriptions to the various publications of the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.
Practice management coding and reimbursement courses and other workshops plus a subscription to Derm Coding Consult Newsletter.
The opportunity for more than 250 children to attend AAD Camp Discovery each year, funded via our humanitarian programs.
In-kind contributions of products and medical supplies needed to perform the procedures for live patient demonstration sessions that take place at Annual and Summer Academy Meetings.

Without your generous support, many of these programs and activities would not take place. Thank you for all you do in support of the Academy.
