DermPA™ Spotlight

President's Column | May 2026

April has officially slipped away, and what a month it was. Our long‑awaited ITCH Conference in Puerto Rico was everything we hoped for and more. After nearly a decade of waiting to return, it felt meaningful to finally gather on the island. The lectures were eye‑opening—deep dives into a symptom we manage every single day, yet continue to learn more about as research evolves. The conversations in the hallways, the shared clinical pearls, the sense of community… it all reminded me why this work matters and why our members are such an incredible force in dermatology.

As Derm PAs, we have the ability to change the lives of our patients. I believe in the SDPA, and our ability to leverage the passion, strength and dedication of our members into a very bright future for the Derm PA profession.
