About The CDA
The Caribbean Dermatology Association was started in 1992 by a group of mainly English speaking Dermatologists, with the first meeting taking place in Jamaica. Our membership now includes doctors from the Dutch speaking Caribbean, the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States of America and the US Virgin Islands. Each year, the meeting is held in a different island.
We use these trips as an opportunity to maintain old friendships and form new ones. We get updated on what is new in dermatology and also learn about each other’s islands and cultures.
Our Aims & Objectives
