Summit Derm
LEVEL UP your practice!
Summit Derm will elevate your clinical care and practice.
Our program is curated by director Jessica Donigan, MD., an acting faculty member and Moh's surgeon at the University of Utah. With her first year, as acting director, under her belt, she feels like this years' program will be even more compelling. With the help of our attendees last year, she was able to identify topics that dermatologists wanted to explore by tapping into her network of colleagues and industry leaders. We typically change the speakers and topics each year given that many attendees come back year after year. Our goal is to be at the forefront of research and new treatment to common and complex conditions.
With all that said, we are pleased to present the following program. Click the links to learn more about each speaker.
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. This is an in-person only event, we will not be offering virtual services.
