• Photopheresis |

• Ultraviolet
and visible phototherapy |

|
The Society convenes
a day-long Annual Scientific Meeting,
usually held just prior to the annual meeting of the American Academy
of Dermatology.
The official journal of the Society is Photodermatology,
Photoimmunology, & Photomedicine.
The Society is operated by its membership through the Board
of Directors and Executive.
