Dear Program Director/Dermatology Chair,


The Society for Pediatric Dermatology (SPD) would like to highlight a unique opportunity for your program. Each year, the Nancy Esterly Pediatric Dermatology Visiting Lectureship sponsors up to three dermatology programs to benefit from a two-day visit from a pediatric dermatologist. This lectureship offers education and mentorship opportunities for medical students, residents, and faculty. The SPD will provide an honorarium to the Visiting Lecturer, along with reimbursement for travel, lodging, and meal expenses for two days.


The visit format and schedule are flexible and can be tailored to your institution’s needs. Based on past lectureship visits, the SPD asks that the proposed agenda includes grand rounds, 2 resident lectures and a half day as teaching attending in clinic. The lectureship can also be an opportunity to partner with the Department of Pediatrics at your institution. More information on the Visiting Lectureship, including program eligibility, a suggested list of visiting lecturers, and suggested additional agenda components can be found at https://pedsderm.net/grants-awards/visiting-lectureship-program/. 


The deadline for application submissions is May 1, 2024. Please contact Emily Schoenbaechler, SPD Communications Manager, if you have any questions or need assistance completing the application.

As a reminder, your dermatology trainees are invited to join the Society for Pediatric Dermatology. Membership is FREE for residents, fellows, and medical students.


We also encourage you to share the SPD's "Your Career Starts Here" brochure with potential future pediatric dermatologists. Printed copies will be available at the Pre-AAD Meeting March 7 in San Diego and SPD Annual Meeting July 11-14 in Toronto, Canada.
