Aims of the society:
This is an organisation of natural and legal entities, who are involved in researches on dermato-venerology. The goal of this society is to develop dermato-venerology and cosmetic treatments, to enrich the scientific knowledge of the members, as well as to train the members in the fields of medical ethics. In order to reach its goals, the Hungarian Dermatological Society organises lectures, national and international conferences, publishes a learned journal (Bőrgyógyászati és Venerológiai Szemle >> – in English: Journal of Hungarian Dermatology and STD) and other publications. An important aim of HDS is to maintain and improve good relationship with national and international societies.

Do you support the apprenticeship?
The Board of Directors determines a financial frame every year, from which the presence of young dermatologists, residents on international conferences is supported. Traditionally, one conference is chosen every year, and all the financial frame is dedicated to support that conference. In this year the DUDG Conference is chosen by the Board, and young dermatologists and residents will be supported to take part in this conference.
Other supports: HDS awards the best dermatological study on the Contest of Scientific Research of Students in every Clinic, every year.
There are also special courses for residents, organised or supported by the HDS.
