Now arrived for recently graduated dermatologists: the JDD Welcome Kit! The Journal of Drugs in Dermatology (JDD), together with generous sponsors, has sent these curated kits to the newest members of our specialty—the Class of 2025. Filled with product samples and essential literature, the kits give early-career clinicians a hands-on way to explore formulations, compare textures, and deepen the product knowledge that informs great patient care.

A welcome kit is more than a collection of samples. It’s a warm, practical introduction to the tools and evidence that will shape clinical decisions. Trying products firsthand and reviewing up-to-date resources helps new dermatologists make confident, patient-centered recommendations from day one.

We are deeply grateful to the companies and organizations whose support made the Welcome Kit possible. Their contributions, from educational materials to clinical samples, demonstrate a shared commitment to training, evidence-based practice, and the success of the next generation.

To the Class of 2025: Congratulations! Dig into your kit, ask questions, test thoughtfully, and let curiosity guide your early clinical choices. Trust your training, lean on mentors, and remember every patient encounter is an opportunity to learn and grow.

To mentors, colleagues, and the broader dermatology community: join us in celebrating these new physicians. Offer guidance, share your insights, and help foster an inclusive environment where learning thrives.

Here’s to fresh starts, informed decisions, and a future of dermatology built on knowledge, compassion, and collaboration. We can’t wait to see what you’ll accomplish.
