Comments

A good spectrum of topics

A lot of unusual cases but I realize this comes from the resident talks which is a requirement (2)

Don't have in major cities have smaller venues and change date so that it's not so close to AAD. Pick a reasonably priced hotel not the Ritz-Carlton!

Dr. Jorizzo's lectures were the best! They provided new ideas for treating more complex dermatoses. I just wish these lectures weren't presented at the very end when we all had to leave to catch our flights!

Great beds and helpful staff

I felt too much was crammed into too little time

I thought the whole meeting was very well done

Lecture on changes in medicine. Very depressing no upside and no new information. Tell me how to make it better. Not just how bad it is. Need a more positive outlook.

Miss meetings at Sedona , Hilton Head, Monterey , Marco Island

More what’s new in regard to.... every year NYU puts on a what’s new and they spend two days covering melanoma, meds, therapeutics, cosmetics, etc.

OCC lecture was what I was looking forward to the most. And it was a complete waste of time. Everything that was said is already on the website. I was looking for specifics (like what the one young dermatologist spoke about, the difficulties in navigating, how she had worse outcomes the second time around, etc). I felt as if I had received more information from that young lady than from the lecturer.

Other meetings planned so not to miss certain presentations only to find out that lecture was moved with very little notice

Overall a very good meeting

Please do not switch lectures around

Some lectures seemed commercially biased

Some of the resident presentations which were obscure or just regurgitating facts from a text book. Need to encourage them to find clinical pearls since their lectures are used for CME for practicing physicians.

Some of the resident presentations which were obscure or just regurgitating facts from a text book.

The Future of Dermatology Practice commercially biased

The Ritz did super buffets and coffee. Well done!

There were way too many lectures on practice management, insurance, and politics and medicine.

Wanted five more CME hours

We had too many practice building type lectures

We need to eliminate resident lectures. We also need more medical/general dermatology lectures and fewer lectures on how to practice. We need our lectures to equal the quality of AAD to continue to increase attendance.

What’s New in Psoriasis commercially biased
