About the Foundation for Osteopathic Dermatology

The Foundation for Osteopathic Dermatology was founded in 2002 by the AOCD as a unique extension of the Osteopathic Dermatology community.  Its purpose is to improve the standards of the practice of  Osteopathic Dermatology by raising awareness, providing public health  information, conducting charitable events, and supporting research through grants and awards given to those applicants under the jurisdiction of  Osteopathic Dermatology Physicians.  Since 2014, a total of $19,306.70 has been awarded to fund various grants. Funding is solely through voluntary donations from physicians and members of the Osteopathic Dermatology community and the generous sponsorship of corporate donors.
