1) NMA Dermatology function at the AAD in Washington, DC: Saturday, March 2nd, 2019. Further details TBD.

2) 117th Annual NMA Convention and Scientific Assembly July 27th - 31st in Honolulu, HI.

The NMA meeting this past summer was incredible. The medical student and dermatology resident symposia were phenomenal (appreciate Dr. Beverly Kelly for sponsoring the medical students in honor of her late husband, Dr. A. Paul Kelly). The cosmetic workshop covering platelet-rich plasma, toxins and fillers was popular again. Finally the core of our niche, medical and surgical dermatology as it pertains to black patients and physicians, was cutting-edge, practical, and educational.

While we were certainly grateful for the leadership of Dr. Ginette Okoye as her term as Chair of the Dermatology Section came to a close, we were overjoyed and wished her the best in her new position as Chair of the Department of Dermatology at Howard University!

Please enjoy a few of the photos from the NMA meeting.
