Skin Health for Everyone. Everywhere.

GLODERM works to build connections between dermatologists, trainees, and healthcare professionals around the world.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to connect dermatologists (and trainees) whose primary interests are focused on the advancement of skin health in resource-limited communities, locally and globally, through sustainable and integrated approaches to clinical care, education, research, policy, and advocacy.

We envision a world where every individual, regardless of background, has the opportunity to achieve skin health. Our mission is to promote skin health worldwide through enhanced access to care, training, advocacy, capacity building, clinical care, and research. We aim to raise awareness about skin health within the overall well-being of communities and to reduce the burden of both common and neglected skin diseases.
