New DermNet PRO feature: Profile page

As part of DermNet PRO, you have the opportunity to create a public profile page.

This is a dynamic and detailed profile that showcases your expertise, achievements, and contributions to dermatology. It’s a great way to enhance your professional presence especially in the dermatology space.

Whether you are a student, young professional, or seasoned expert, a DermNet profile is a great way to display your experience and interest in dermatology.

Key features:

• Bio: Share your background, your journey in medicine and what drives your passion for healthcare.
• Cases contributed: We encourage all users of DermNet PRO to publish case studies as this is a great short format way to learn dermatology. All your contributed and approved cases will be displayed on your profile.
• Volunteer positions and projects: DermNet PRO will have many volunteering opportunities and your profile will list your contributions. Whether you’ve managed a project, written or reviewed content, or contributed in any capacity, this section will highlight your dedication to the field of dermatology.
• Professional memberships: You can list any professional organisations and affiliations you may have.
• Awards and recognitions: Any awards and other accolades can be displayed on your profile.
• Affiliated institutions:
  • Include your connections with reputable institutions.
  • Whether you are affiliated with hospitals, universities, or research institutions, this section builds your credibility and professional network.
• Training undertaken:
  • Outline training programs, residencies, fellowships, and continuous education courses you’ve completed, whether with DermNet or external.
  • Outline in-progress or upcoming programs.
• Qualifications:
  • List your degrees, certifications, and specialisations.
  • This section provides a clear picture of your formal education and expertise.
• Merit Points, tiers, and badges: 
  • You can earn recognition within the DermNet PRO system through volunteering and getting involved in projects.
  • Merit points are earned for volunteering hours and can be used to get discounts on education, subscriptions and products.
  • Your profile will feature your merit points and tiers achieved.
• Contact information:
  • List your details to allow communication with other healthcare professionals and expand your network (optional)

Having a profile on DermNet PRO is a great way to get recognition on a highly regarded website as well as provide a place where patients and colleagues can learn more about you.

Attaining a public profile page will be restricted to individuals who have completed a volunteer activity. You can read more about volunteering here.
