The creation of the online Diploma in Practical Dermatology (DPD) has resulted in a unique medical programme in which doctors from all over the world are working together in a collaborative environment. I will continue to explore and develop new initiatives for the course to maintain our excellent world wide reputation for good quality dermatology education which is supported by educational theory. My role in leading the DPD team has continued to create multimedia packages and supportive learning tools and systems to enhance the quality of the course and remain the number one dermatology course world wide.
