DASIL has developed into one of the most prominent dermatosurgical associations in the world in a few short 7 years. Conceived as “a not for profit democratic dermatosurgical society with a transparent administration. Its mission is to educate members and engage like-minded societies around the world”. DASIL involves and welcomes multiple specialties in the aesthetic and dramaturgical fields. Among these are dermatosurgeons, plastic surgeons, oculoplastic and facial plastic surgeons and gynaecologists. We are all under one unique umbrella.Our membership fee is very affordable. Several of our membership benefits have been responsible for this impressive growth. DASIL is successful in giving a full scope of learning and development of our content subject to all parts of the globe. The success of our previous congresses, in Malta, Bangkok, South Africa, Vietnam, Shanghai, Dubai and Buenos Aires is testimony to DASIL’s acceptance by the dermatological community. As the president of DASIL for the year 2019, I am proud to provide leadership to this organization and take this opportunity to thank my predecessors.
As a benefit of membership, all members receive a complimentary subscription to the DERMATOLOGIC SURGERY journal, twice a year newsletter, access to scholarships and preferential registration fees for the workshops and congresses. Additionally, members can apply to the DASIL/ASDS International Traveling Mentorship Program (ITMP). This unique program provides training opportunities in collaboration with American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS). There are also opportunities for pro bono contributions in the field of scars and other areas.
I invite dermatologists, plastic surgeons and aesthetic surgeons across the globe to join DASIL.
DASIL also provides opportunities to national societies to join Assembly of National Affiliated Societies (ANAS). Through this forum representatives can interact with other society representatives for mutual benefit. Over 25 societies have already joined partnered in ANAS. I welcome other societies to join.
DASIL board has some of the most prominent names of leaders from different countries. With their support, DASIL is planning several new initiatives this year. Among these are DASIL Awards for the DASIL Dermatosurgeon of the year, DASIL young Dermatosurgeon of the year, and the DASIL Dermatosurgery society of the year. A DASIL book on Dermatosurgery is also being planned.
DASIL, is a member of the International League of Dermatological Societies (ILDS). DASIL members are organizing a scientific session at the World Congress of Dermatology in Milan on June 10, 2019.
Next year’s DASIL Congress will be in Goa, India. I invite all to join and strengthen this organization to reach greater heights and to plan to attend the 2019 Congress.
