Congratulations to Dr. Mariusz Sapijaszko for becoming the President of the Canadian Dermatology Association. Dr. Sapijaszko is a long standing member of the CSDS and we wish him well in his new leadership post.

Dr. Sapijaszko has been active in the CSDS as President and Secretary-Treasurer.

The Canadian Society for Dermatologic Surgery represents the like-minded group of Canadian Dermatologists whose practice involves surgical and cosmetic procedures. Dermatologists, as the inventors of many innovative and pioneering cosmetic and surgical procedures continue to be at the forefront of cosmetic and medical surgery in Canada and beyond.

Congratulations to Dr. Harvery Lui.
Dr. Lui, a Canadian Dermatologist from Vancouver, has been elected President-Elect of the International League of Dermatological Societies at its February 1, 2015 Board Meeting. Dr. Lui is an accomplished Canadian Dermatologists that has focused his carrier on research and the promotion of the Canadian Dermatology at the national as well as international level.
CSDS wishes Dr. Lui all the success in his new position.

The Food and Drug Administration in the United States approved the first drug to treat the most common form of skin cancer, Basal Cell Carcinoma. It can be used as an alternative for patients who can’t have surgery or radiation treatments. It is also used in patients with skin cancer that has spread elsewhere in the body.

There are exciting things happening within the Canadian Society for Dermatologic Surgery!

Our new CSDS website is rapidly being populated, and we expect this useful information will help our patients and colleague dermatologic surgeons find what they need to connect and work together.

All dermatology residents across Canada are now entitled to complimentary resident-memberships in our society. This will offer new dermatologists the best chance to become experts in surgical care of the skin with access to information sessions and hands-on state of the art training.

The CSDS has recently joined DASIL, The Dermatologic & Aesthetic Surgery International League. We are one of the first societies accepted to join this new organization.

Please keep in touch with this blog for updates, including new techniques in cosmetic surgery, management of skin cancers and innovative research being done by our members in the society.
Once again, welcome to this new blog.

Sincerely,

Christian Murray
President, Canadian Society for Dermatologic Surgery
