Inc 540 Frontage Road, Suite 2110 Northfield, IL 60093 Toll Free: 877-DERM-MD2 (877-337-6632) Local: 847-999-5110 Fax: 866-965-7778 derm.md (www.derm.md) was founded in 1999 as part of an online Dermatology resident education resource. The organization was originally formed to assist resident physicians by facilitating the exchange study materials, notes, etc. After experiencing a demand for technology-related information (imaging, digital cameras, handheld computers, etc.) currently being used in the field of Dermatology, we created a resource to provide expert opinion and review of commercially available, relevant software and hardware products. Since that time, we have assembled a team of dedicated individuals and evolved from an educational content provider to an experienced group of developers creating original web-based and handheld software solutions. The founders have given over 20 invited lectures (nationally and internationally) and continue to publish on various topics relating to technology in Dermatology. Our original research and innovations in the fields of imaging and data capture tools has been presented at national meetings in Dermatology, Dermatologic Surgery, and Pathology. We have also had the honor of partnering with the following organizations to help promote their missions through the creation of automated software solutions: American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, American Society for Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, and the American College for Mohs Micrographic Surgery and Cutaneous Oncology. Approximately one year ago, we organized as a Not For Profit (NFP) foundation under the name of the Derm Education Foundation. This NFP status more accurately reflects the organizational mission of derm.md. The founders do not draw salary or other financial support from the Derm Education Foundation. Since our conception, we continue to develop educational software and products which are provided free of charge to students, residents, and physicians pursuing their education. We are constantly expanding our software product line to support a larger user base, including international students and practitioners of Dermatology. Often, universities in underdeveloped countries lack the financial support to provide adequate teaching resources (books and other materials). The founders of this company have observed this first-hand during visits to medical schools abroad. Our goals are to make these valuable resources available free of charge to users both nationally and abroad. To achieve our goals, we rely solely on funding from private sector, educational grants, and philanthropic sources. We are now offering services, such as website development and meeting/conference administration automation. These are services sought after by our supporters, and help draw revenue to help the company pursue its primary goal of supporting Dermatology education through technology. With continued support and growth, we ultimately hope to create a self-sustaining endowment that will allow us to offer grants to individuals and organizations sharing our vision. |
