The topics chosen are heterogeneous and reflect issues commonly seen by practicing dermatologists. There is one moderator and four presenters for each session. Each presenter is asked to address two to four questions that are assigned prior to the meeting. Each presenter has a different set of questions. Answers to questions should be concise and evidence based.
