The ARTE in Dermatology Scholarship program supports a specialized track of the Orlando Dermatology Aesthetic & Clinical conference that is specifically designed by key thought-leaders to meet the needs of dermatology residents in training. The ARTE in Dermatology Scholarship program offers educational and networking activities with an acute focus on the most important issues facing residents today: a concentration on core therapeutic areas, an insight into board review, understanding practice management, and an introduction to aesthetic practices.
Non-residents and fellows, including practicing dermatologists, health plans, pharmaceutical companies, researchers, analysts, technology providers and consultants, who have posters accepted for presenting will be given a reduced registration fee of 50%.
Once your poster has been accepted, you will be given information on how to register for ODAC as a Poster Presenter.
