Bringing a Patient? PLEASE DO!

SDS is virtual for the time being, and will likely continue even once in-person conferences are allowed. Due to those changes, we have had to adapt the way we organize the patient conference portion of the meeting. Please see the updated guidelines:

  1. Fill out the patient submission form, the president will follow up with you
  2. Fill out a disclosure form (takes <2 min, lasts 1 year) to resolve commercial conflicts ahead of time.
  3. Send pathology slides, well in advance, to the meeting pathologist’s address below, note they are for Seattle Derm Society.
