Dermpedia

Mission and Objective:
The mission of Dermpedia is to collect and disseminate the knowledge, science and experience of dermatology and dermatopathology, fields of medicine concerned with understanding, diagnosing and treating diseases of the skin.

The basic premise of the Dermpedia project is that by providing a platform for sharing information and cases, we can advance our field by organizing the vast universe of knowledge acquired by dermatologists and dermatopathologists practicing in different parts of the world.

Dermpedia is also designed to serve as an online community for practicing physicians, medical students and trainees. Dermpedia is a wiki, a free user-editable encyclopedia of dermatology and dermatopathology, open to the entire community of dermatopathologists, dermatologists and general pathologists interested in skin diseases.

Dermpedia provides a platform for institutions and professional organizations to run clinicopathological conferences, grand rounds, courses and seminars. It allows worldwide audiences to learn and participate in these events.
