Our Leadership Team

Elevate-Derm ALLIANCE Team

Our Scientific Advisory Board consists of practicing and/or teaching clinicians who have a proven track record of supporting the education of their fellow dermatology professionals. Our Medical Directors are responsible for planning the educational curriculum and recruiting a top-tier faculty to lead our accredited conference instruction. The remaining members of our team work on enduring content creation to supplement what is offered during our live events.
