Dermatology PAs and other healthcare professionals who attended the SDPA Annual Summer Dermatology Conference in Austin, Texas, returned to work with expanded knowledge of best practices, trends and other information related to superior patient care. Some attendees likely had to make extra room in their suitcases for unexpected, yet welcome prizes won as a result of skill, intuition, and perseverance! As part of the conference experience, SDPA offered several interesting contests designed to measure skill and engage attendees. Congratulations and thank you to everyone who participated! Here’s a look at the contests and winners:
Snake Hunters! Sherman the Snake Caught!
Austin conference attendees competitively searched for Sherman the Snake in the lobby, hallway, and Exhibit Hall throughout the three-and-half-day conference. Each of the four winners below won DermLite Dermatoscope. Other successful snake hunters who won are:
- Maria Abeyta, PA, of New Mexico (pictured to the right)
- Erin Baker, PA, Texas
- Falon Cowman, PA, Texas
- Mia Hardack, PA-C, Florida
Thank you to all conference attendees who participated in the Sherman the Snake game. If you didn’t win, please join us at the SDPA 20th Annual Fall Dermatology Conference in Miami, Nov. 17-20, 2002, and try again. The sneaky snake will be onsite in sunny Florida!
