About the Lectureship:
This award is given in recognition of Dr. Herman Beerman’s long and devoted service to the SID and his efforts to secure for it a position of respect in the scientific community. The Beerman Lecture is given by a distinguished medical scholar at a scientific session of the Society’s Annual Meeting. Traditionally, lecturers from fields other than dermatology are chosen in order to give meeting attendees the opportunity to learn about scientific advances in other fields.
