Ahrndt, MPAS, PA-C sahrndt@dermpa.org DIRECTOR AT LARGE Jang Mi Johnson, PA-C jjohnson@dermpa.org The Society of Dermatology Physician Assistants (SDPA) is having their 13th annual national fall meeting November 12-15, 2015 at the Loews Portofino Bay Hotel in Orlando, Florida. The previous time we had our conference at this location, it sold out. This location plus our track record of top-notch, cutting edge events will be a great reason to support us for this event. The SDPA is the primary professional organization representing physician assistants (PAs) who specialize in dermatology and we are able to claim the largest membership of any PA specialty group. Our primary goal is to promote the education and training of PAs in dermatology. Due to the new health care changes, more patients will be seeking dermatologic care. Because of this, the utilization and employment of PAs in dermatology is rapidly increasing. This conference will offer your organization multiple partnership opportunities, detailed in the following pages. As we mentioned above, our meetings have a great reputation and they are the reason PAs in dermatology consider our meetings the premier events to attend. Your presence and partnering at this meeting will provide unparalleled access to dermatology PAs as well as showcasing your company s support for the dermatologist-pa team. Our high quality meetings coupled with a great location and venue will ensure you have a great return on your investment. We look forward to seeing you in the fall of 2015 in Orlando, Florida for yet another outstanding event! Sincerely, Vicki Roberts, MPAS, PA-C President, Society of Dermatology Physician Assistants SDPA 8400 Westpark Drive - 2nd Floor McLean, VA th Annual Fall Dermatology Conference - Orlando, FL
