SVDS News:
It would be incredible to get you all more involved in the Sacramento Valley Dermatology Society meetings. Consider inviting dermatology friends and colleagues. Also please consider submitting your interesting cases for presentation.

To increase the role we play in the development of future young dermatologists, we are implementing a new program. Interesting cases presented at SVDS (especially the "case of the night"), can be written up in manuscript format and submitted for publication by a medical student/research fellow under the guidance of the SVDS member who presented the case. To increase the academic visibility of the SVDS, these manuscripts could include the following acknowledgement "This case was presented at the Sacramento Valley Dermatological Society on (date) (and was voted as case of the night)." SVDS is willing to reimburse any manuscript submission fees, if applicable, of $100 (or less) per published manuscript that includes this acknowledgement.

Thank you:
Thank you to all for coming out last week during the storm for a memorable evening sponsored by Skinceuticals with guest speaker Dr. George Hruza who presented on AAD Updates. I believe this was a fantastic way to start the year, spending time with friends - old and new!

We have some exciting plans for the upcoming year, with special events and memorable, educational and fun evenings!

Best,
Dr. Jared Jagdeo, SVDS President, on behalf of the SVDS Executive Committee
