NIRDs Dermatology Rare Disease Conference

Why Attend

A full program devoted to rare and immune-mediated skin disease as well as cancer. Immune blistering disease, cutaneous lupus, dermatomyositis, scleroderma, mast cell disorders, porphyrias, pustular psoriasis, alopecia areata, vitiligo, HS, and pediatric rare disease: conditions that rarely get dedicated time at general dermatology meetings.

• Clinically applicable content

  Sessions are structured around diagnostic evaluation, differential considerations, and evidence-based management approaches for low-prevalence conditions.

• Cross-specialty perspective

  Faculty from rheumatology, gastroenterology, oncology, immunology, and neurology present alongside dermatology, reflecting the multi-organ nature of these diseases and the realities of co-management.

• Faculty access at a manageable scale

  A focused meeting with a high faculty-to-attendee ratio allows direct discussion with faculty and peers rather than one-way lecture attendance.

• A national peer community in rare dermatology

  Academic and community dermatologists, NPs and PAs, and residents and fellows convened around a shared clinical focus.

• Dedicated programming for trainees (NIRDs 360)

  Residents and fellows attend alongside attendings, with education aimed at building rare disease competency early in training.

• Specialized practice management tracks by profession

  Ranging from clinical trials, working with industry, tools to enhance your practice, and professional development guidance.

• An efficient format

  Friday evening through Sunday morning, structured to limit time away from clinical practice.
