Looking back to where it all began! 20th of August 2024, the night we officially became a society.

Launching our socials and planning for the future Junior Committee

Since that night, AUDPS has grown into a community of students passionate about dermatology and plastic surgery, running workshops, events, and opportunities to learn and connect.
π₯³ Highlights from 2024
Bake Sale - 6 September π₯π§
Our very first fundraising event brought students together, raised funds for the society, and set the tone for a year full of engagement, learning, and collaboration.
Basic Suturing Workshop & Dermatology Interest Night - 8 October π§π»ββοΈπͺ‘
Students gained hands-on suturing experience and explored dermatology and plastic surgery career pathways.
A huge thank you to the amazing doctors who supported this event: Dr Melinda Jiang, Dr Shihab Siddiquee & Dr Suzanne Mashtoub - your guidance, expertise, and encouragement made this night truly special.
Weβd also like to recognise our Event Officer, Kelly Hou, whose hard work and organisation helped make these events possible in our first year.

π Looking ForwardΒ
Reflecting on 2024, itβs incredible to see how far AUDPS has come in just one year. These events and new beginnings laid the foundation for our ongoing mission: to provide workshops, lectures, and community initiatives that inspire the next generation of dermatologists and plastic surgeons.
Weβre deeply grateful for the support of our mentors, faculty, and collaborators - and we look forward to building on these connections to create more opportunities for students to learn and grow in 2025.
Thank you to everyone who made 2024 such a memorable start for AUDPS - hereβs to many more! πβ¨
