SOCS Hosts Regional Networking & Educational Symposium in Indianapolis
Nearly 50 practicing dermatologists, residents, and medical students gathered on April 25, 2025, in Indianapolis for the Skin of Color Society (SOCS) Regional Networking & Educational Symposium, held in conjunction with the Indiana Academy of Dermatology Spring Meeting. This dynamic event provided a unique opportunity for attendees to connect with colleagues, learn more about the mission and programs of SOCS, and explore ways to engage more deeply with efforts to advance equity and excellence in dermatology.
