Annual Meeting
Who are the Members of the AMD?
The members of AMD represent decades of military dermatologists – Both current and prior active-duty.
“The AMD is the central focus of education and fellowship for all past and present military dermatologists. As it unites physicians through sharing of common experiences and goals collaborative efforts to continuously improve patient care are advanced.”
William D. James, M.D., FAAD
“The old quip is true: “You can take us out of the military but you can’t take the military out of us”. I still get up early, do morning PT and feel an obligation to my mission of delivering patient care, serving the community, and teaching the next generation. The Association of Military Dermatologists unites us in our common mission and gives us an opportunity to reconnect with our friends and share our experiences. We still have a journal — Cutis is now the official journal of the AMD and features manuscripts relevant to military medicine. Pay it forward — Always do your best, read about the latest developments in our specialty, and support one another in our lifelong journeys.”
Dirk M. Elston, M.D., FAAD, FCAP
