Introduction of the event:
The Tunisian Society of Dermatology and Venereology (STDV) is set to host a Sister Society meeting at the World Congress of Dermatology (WCD) in Singapore, which takes place every four years. This is a significant event for professionals in the field of dermatology to convene and share their knowledge and expertise. The sister society meeting will be held in association with the International Society of Teledermatology (ISTD) and the Middle East International and Aesthetic Medicine (MEIDAM).
The event is highly anticipated, with sessions that will feature high-profile speakers from the STDV and MEIDAM sessions, and a full world congress of Teledermatology, Imaging, AI, and Skin Diseases at the ISTD session. Attendees will learn about the latest advances and trends in the field of dermatology, making it an exciting opportunity for all those in attendance.
The event will be inaugurated by a medical officer of the World Health Organization, Dr. Jose Antonio Ruiz Postigo, emphasizing the importance of this meeting and the significant impact it will have on the global community of dermatologists. This will also serve as a great platform to promote the use of technology in dermatology and make it more accessible.
All recordings of the STDV and MEIDAM sessions will be available on Global Dermatology at the end of the WCD, allowing for a wider audience to benefit from this event. Additionally, the ISTD sessions are accessible through the ISTD website, making it easier for people to access the knowledge shared at the event.
In conclusion, please join the Sister Society meeting at the WCD in Singapore in-person or virtually. The participation of the STDV, ISTD, and MEIDAM highlights the importance of collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and innovation in this field.
