The mission of the EADV is to provide education and training for dermatologists. Now, more energy is being placed on highlighting what dermatologists do and what skin diseases are, which is a good way of helping patients recognise that skin disorders are very important for all of us. Even if they are not life-threatening, most people have had, at least once in their life, a skin condition or skin request for the dermatologist. Advocacy of what the EADV represents across medicine and understanding the needs and expectations of patients are also very important.
