I am reaching out today to share a bit about our core philosophy and to introduce a program designed specifically to help you take the next step in your dermatopathology education.

There is a massive amount of free medical education online right now, particularly on social media. While that accessibility is fantastic, "free" often comes with a hidden price. On those platforms, you aren't the student—you are the product being sold to advertisers. You are forced to navigate intrusive ads, chaotic feeds, and platforms that were ultimately designed to distract you, not educate you.

I built Dermpedia to be completely different. We provide a premium, dedicated, and ad-free environment combining the interactive community of a modern professional society with the high-definition streaming quality of platforms like Netflix.

However, building and maintaining this level of independent digital infrastructure without selling ads or user data means that Dermpedia cannot be entirely free.

At the same time, we are deeply committed to our mission: world-class dermatopathology education must be accessible to everyone, regardless of where they live or their career stage. That is why I am incredibly proud to highlight the Dermpedia Tuition Assistance Program.

If the standard cost of a full membership is a barrier to your continued learning, we want to help. We offer significantly discounted (up to 90%)—premium memberships for:

• Trainees: Current residents and fellows worldwide.

• Global Practitioners: Colleagues practicing in developing nations (based on World Bank economic classifications).

If you fall into either of these categories, please do not let cost be a barrier to advancing your diagnostic skills.

I would like to announce the launch of Dermpedia Academy, a branch of Dermpedia chaired by Dr. Jerad Gartner, dedicated to education of residents, fellow and general surgical pathologists interested in or forced to signout dermpath. We are also launching Trainee/International Tuition Assistance Program. The goal of this program is to adjust the Dermpedia fees to reflect the purchasing power of physicians in different countries and stages of their career. 

Welcome Jerad. I am looking forward to working with you to make Dermpedia more accessible to trainees and junior attendees worldwide. My natural interests are exploring the boundaries of dermpath and sharing experience. You are the best and most dedicated educator of residents and fellows. I will do my best to accomodate you and your students on Dermpedia Academy. This co-incides with my plans for Dermpedia to evolve into a world-wide digital-first dermatopathology professional society. 

Welcome everyone, I'm Dr. Jerad Gardner, and I am absolutely thrilled to officially open the doors to Dermpedia Academy! We've built this dedicated space specifically for trainees, residents, fellows, general surgical pathologists looking to sharpen their dermpath skills, and dermatopathologists who are early in their practice.

Why did we build this?

There is a massive amount of dermatopathology education available online right now, and while that's fantastic, most of it lives on social media platforms that were designed for something else entirely. That means intrusive ads, chaotic feeds, and algorithms competing for your attention instead of supporting your learning.

The Dermpedia Academy Difference

We've built a unique platform designed exclusively for dermatopathology education.

• 🤝 Interactive: It combines the best community networking of Facebook and Twitter.

• 📺 High-Quality: It offers the premium, organized streaming experience of Netflix.

• 🚫 Ad-Free: Zero interruptions and zero distractions.

Most of our content will be free, with some premium offerings to help sustain the platform. Either way, keeping Dermpedia Academy accessible is a top priority, and our Tuition Assistance Program is here to make sure cost is never a barrier for anyone who wants to learn with us.

Introduce yourself!

I'd love to get to know everyone who joins us here. Drop a comment below and tell us a little about you:

• 🌎 Where are you from?

• 🔬 What's your practice or training setting like?

• 🎉 What do you do for fun outside of pathology?

• 💡 What dermpath or soft tissue topics would you most like to see me teach about?

Take a look around, get ready for our first big event, and I am so glad you are here!

Warmly,

Jerad Gardner, M.D.
