The Society offers a Joint Meeting held annually in the US, which is a two-day meeting that precedes the Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology and which provides continuing medical education credits to US attendees. A Self-Assessment Course at the Joint Meeting is approved by the ABP for Part II MOC SAMs (6 hours) and by the ABD for MOC-D SAs (100 units). The Society also sponsors an annual Symposium, which is a three-day meeting held in another country. These meetings include a self-assessment course, free communications (chosen from submitted abstracts) and general sessions.
