The 11 breakout sessions, 12 sponsored sessions,10 live demonstrations, 10 roundtable sessions, and industry supported sessions, each with over 75 attendees and a brand new, 4-hour pre-conference aesthetic workshop with Dr. Shino Bay Aguilera were filled.
A successful Monday program for 100+ dermatology residents and young dermatologists with hands-on injection training a young dermatology leader and mentorship program that offered seven dermatology residents the opportunity to connect one-on-one with leaders in the various areas of dermatology.
Outstanding Educator & Mentor in Dermatology Award
The ODAC Dermatology, Aesthetic & Surgical Conference, in partnership with the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology (JDD), honored dermatologist Susan H. Weinkle, MD, with the Outstanding Educator & Mentor in Dermatology Award at the conference.
It is a pleasure and an honor to recognize the tireless work of exceptional leaders in Dermatology, not only do these dermatology leaders dedicate their entire lives to benefiting patients every day, but after the “work day” ends, they spend countless hours involved in activities to improve the specialty’s future.

The award recognizes individuals who have demonstrated a long-standing commitment to educating and mentoring the next generation of dermatologists, and who have devoted a major portion of his or her professional life to enhancing the practice and profession of dermatology through education.
“Physicians around the globe have learned so much from Dr. Susan Weinkle,” said dermatologist and ODAC vice conference chair Joel Cohen, MD. “Susan has given all of us in aesthetics so much of her time and energy, and I am honored to present this award to her.”
