The ILDS, as part of its work in global dermatology, aims to recognise dermatologists and others in the field of dermatological care who have made an outstanding contribution to improving the experience for people with skin diseases.
Certificates of Appreciation are awarded annually and aim to recognise dermatologists and others in the field of dermatological care who have made an outstanding contribution in either of the following categories:
International Leadership
Those that have made significant contributions to furthering international dermatology. These are dermatologists that have shown international leadership which has had an impact on global health policies and practices, furthering cross-border research, education and empowerment of dermatologists, their societies and the public.
Those that have been undertaking their work in a selfless, humanitarian and not-for-profit manner to improve the skin health of people in under-served areas of the world.
In addition to the annual ILDS Certificate of Appreciate, the ILDS also awards the Young Dermatologist Achievement Award and the Medal for Achievements in Global Dermatology, every 4 years. These awards are presented at the World Congress of Dermatology. Find out more by clicking on the buttons below.
