In our continuing effort to provide the dermatology PA community, and specifically SDPA members, greater visibility, we are pleased to announce the launch of a brand new member benefit; “Find a Dermatology PA.” This new member benefit will is now available. You can find the search under the "About" tab - titled "Find a Dermatology PA."
What Does The Search Do?
This new benefits provides the public with the ability to search through our database on current Fellows and Fellow Diplomates by city and state. It will provide the patients, colleagues and others with the ability to find a dermatology PA near them. The search will feature all Fellow and Fellow-Diplomate members of the SDPA and will be open to the public. You must be a current member of the SDPA to be included.
Fellow members who have worked to complete our Distance Learning Initiative (DLI) and gained Diplomate status will be specially identified with a blue “D” next to their name to signify their status.
This is an exciting new way for the SDPA to provide additional service to the community and elevate the awareness of dermatology PAs. Help us spread the word to those who might be looking for a way to find dermatology PAs in their area!
