Education Committee

  1. E Learning Cases:

A Pediatric Dermatology case for diagnosis is posted once every two weeks and the diagnosis with bulleted teaching points appears the next week. Cases for this activity can be submitted by all ISPD members. For more information, click here.

2. Cases for Discussion

1. Cases for diagnosis

2. Cases posing therapeutic challenge

3. Rare/interesting teaching cases

​

Submitted cases will be reviewed initially for clarity of the photographs and description, as well as potential teaching value by the Education sub-committee. Input will be collected from the ISPD members and the Committee member assigned for the case will post a short summary.


Submitters of cases will be encouraged to send follow up information that could elucidate the diagnosis or therapeutic course. If a rare case is submitted, viewers who may have a similar case can offer assistance (e.g., offer of genotyping or other service without cost) are encouraged to send a note to the ISPD, providing an opportunity to link the anonymous submitter of the original case(s) with others for potential publication and assistance.
