| Dr. Rhett Drugge's deep commitment
to research and patient care with a special focus on physician to physician
communications led to his founding of the Internet
Dermatology Society. This society encourages members to share a data
description language which facilitates access to dermatology information
resources by common application programs and promotes uniform access to
dermatology educational materials for Society members. It provides an
Internetworked gateway for dermatology and the closely associated fields
of, dermatologic surgery, dermatopathology and immunodermatology. The
IDS assists
dermatology societies and patient advocacy groups to use the Internet.
Through the Internet
Dermatology Society an online "Electronic
Textbook of Dermatology" is provided to its users. Dr. Drugge
is the Founding Editor of this invaluable resource which has served millions
of online users with information on topics in Dermatology since its inception
in 1996.
The Internet
Dermatology Society also has a feature called: Global
Dermatology Grand Round. This is a tool for dermatologists and physicians
to share their challenging cases with their peers.
