Programs & Schedule

BUILD YOUR SKILLS IN SKIN, HAIR & NAILS

Our program is curated by director Luke Johnson, MD. and co-director Mark Hyde, PA-C, PhD., to create an engaging learning course that will provide a basic but robust education in skin, hair and nails. Each year we reflect on the previous and try keep the topics that the attendees liked and switch up those of less interest. We typically change the speakers year after year to keep the delivery and presentation materials fresh. With all that said, we are pleased to present the following program.

Presentation materials will be available digitally to attendees as the conference nears. We do not offer print materials in an effort to reduce our carbon footprint.
