JDD Goes International

The Journal of Drugs in Dermatology(JDD) and the field of dermatology are now more international than ever before.

This is due to both the popularization of international conferences, congresses and workshops as well as to the growth of tele-dermatology and tele-medicine.

In addition, during the past year, JDD has worked to create an alliance with leading dermatologic societies.

I am pleased to report that this endeavor has been quite successful. JDD has initiated partnerships with approximately 30 international dermatology societies and JDD's Senior Editors have agreed to make complimentary journal e-subscriptions available to these societies' members.

We're thankful that so many societies have joined our international alliance, including:

Argentine Society of Dermatology

Caribbean Dermatology Association

Chilean Society of Dermatology and Venereology

Colombian Society of Dermatology

Dermatological Society of Thailand

Indonesian Society of Dermatology & Venereology

International Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ISDS)

International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery

Mexican Academy of Dermatology

North American Hair Research Society

Philippine Dermatological Society

Romanian Society for Aesthetic Medicine and Dermatologic Surgery

Slovak Dermatovenereological Society

Society of Dermatovenereology (Turkey)

Tunisian Society of Dermatology and Venereology

These partnerships, and ones being finalized as this issue goes to press, will not only provide JDD to thousands of dermatologists practicing worldwide, but we are confident that it will also forge an exchange between international and American dermatologists.

It is our goal to reach 90 percent of dermatologists worldwide by the end of this year. This level of access is a milestone in medicine and in dermatology.
