President's Column | July 2025

When you hear the word "SDPA," what comes to mind? For many of us, it’s our incredible conferences, where we gather twice a year to share educational content, connect with peers, and have a blast doing it.

Dive in, live it, drink it, read about it, see the patients, ask questions, attend conferences.

President's Message | November 2020

I'm incredibly grateful for our adaptable leaders who've innovated events like "Cocktails & Conversation," our dedicated five-person staff who bring our ideas to life, and especially for you, our members, whose partnership helps us advocate for DermPAs™ nationwide.

SDPA Member Spotlight - JAMES WORRY

I love dermatology because I am a visual person. I love the attention to detail and recognizing subtle differences in presentation of rashes or lesions.

President's Message | October 2020

I've been reflecting on how I've adapted to 2020's "new normal"—whether I've been a flexible "Twizzler" or an inflexible "pretzel stick." I'm proud to work with a team of "Twizzlers" who've made SDPA DIGITAL an incredibly engaging and educational virtual conference, and I can't wait to "see" you all there.

President's Message | September 2020

As September ends, I want to wish all PAs a happy PA Week, commending your unwavering commitment to patient care during the pandemic. I encourage you to never believe you are "just a PA," as our profession consistently shatters expectations, and I look forward to connecting with you all at SDPA DIGITAL 2020 in October.

President's Message | July 2020

Every July, the SDPA leadership team welcomes new volunteers passionate about advancing dermatology PAs. To get involved, identify your interests, connect with the relevant committee chairs, and take a step toward leadership—together, we grow as professionals and leaders in our communities and beyond.
