The Women's Dermatologic Society 

The Women's Dermatologic Society, founded in 1973, is dedicated to helping dermatologists fulfill their greatest potential and assisting them in making a contribution to our specialty and society. To achieve this goal, the Society relies on the active participation of its members, who represent a diverse cross-section of professional sub-specialties.
 

MENTORSHIP

Mentorship is a hallmark benefit of WDS membership, offering dermatologists meaningful opportunities to connect with experienced leaders for guidance, support, and professional growth. The program includes both formal, funded on-site rotations—made possible through our corporate partners—and flexible, self-directed connections via the WDS online mentor database.
