New Zealand Dermatological Society Incorporated (NZDSI)

The NZ Dermatological Society Inc (NZDSI) was established in 1948. Its members are specialist dermatologists – they are the medical experts in skin diseases, conditions and their treatment. In 2012, the rules of the Society were varied. All members are now Fellows of the Society, and may use the postnominal initials FNZDS to confirm they have completed training requirements and are currently Vocationally Registered as Dermatologists by the Medical Council of New Zealand.

The NZDSI is an Incorporated Society whose affairs are run by its President and an Executive Committee. Fellows must participate in a Continuing Professional Development recertification programme approved by the Medical Council of New Zealand.
