Dermatology was flourishing as a clinical specialty more than a century ago. Because the great training centers were located in England, France and Ger- many, physicians from over the world were attracted to them. Thus, most of the founders of American Dermatology received their training in Europe. In 1876, several of these men organized the Amer- ican Dermatological Association, which represents one of the oldest specialty groups in the United States. Being outstanding teachers and clinicians, they sought constantly to elevate the specialty of Dermatology. The initial product of their efforts was the formation of the American Board of Dermatology and Syphi- lology, which was incorporated in 1932, thereby be- coming the fourth Specialty Board to be so recognized. The Board promptly established educational stan- dards for training programs in the specialty. In the early growth years of Dermatology in the United States, major emphasis was placed on clinical aspects. ln 1937, however, research interests in the specialty surged into prominence and formed The Society for Investigative Dermatology, which today is a vigorous and important component of the specialty. Soon it became evident to the leaders in Dermato- logy that a structure for continued education was essential. Consequently, in 1938 the American Acad- emy of Dermatology was organized. The first meeting was held in Detroit in that year and attracted about 300 dermatologists. In 1966, the Academy meeting attracted 3,000 registrants. In a short span of years, American Dermatology established three strong components, each serving in a different way to elevate the specialty: the American Board, through its vigilance over specialty training, the Investigative Society, through leadership in re- search, and the Academy as a national forum for continuing education. Wayne State University has had an accredited three-year residency program in Dermatology for 25 years. Each year four residents with expertise in this specialty are graduated from the Wayne State program. 37
