Advocacy Section

Advocacy has tools for collaborating with dermAdvocate members and for taking action.

Here, the left navigation reflects Advocacy-related subsections.

Issues is where action begins.  An issue is any goal-oriented topic that can impact a community; a public awareness campaign, lobbying effort, political action, educational initiative, or similar.   In other words, a nidus for action and Advocacy.   goGroups, Forums, and other collaborative tools can later be related to the issue.  

goGroups are action-oriented focus groups, bent on making a difference.

Action! is a tool to help members get involved.

Charity is the dermAdvocate foundation and related charities.

Ethics is an area for discussion and participation in advancing dermatology-related values.

Links redirect the browser to foundations, websites, and other Advocacy-related sites.

Volunteer Board is a mechanism to find other advocates.


While the goals of an initiative are defined in the Issue area, goGroups are a virtual meeting place for members.    Let's take a look.
