We are pleased to announce that the 14th Annual Toronto Psoriasis Seminar (ToPS) and 40th Annual Robert S. Lester Postgraduate Dermatology Seminar will be taking place on November 30, 2018 at Women's College Hospital.
This year we are combining ToPS and the Robert Lester Postgraduate meetings into one day of learning. The theme for this year is “Immunity and Inflammation and the Skin.” We have planned a full day with excellent speakers on topics such as blistering diseases, the role of diet in psoriasis and inflammation, the microbiome, hidradenitis suppurativa, male genital dermatoses, new therapies in inflammatory skin diseases, and many more. We hope to see you there!
