Société Française de Dermatologie Pédiatrique

What Société Française de Dermatologie Pédiatrique does

The Société Française de Dermatologie Pédiatrique (SFDP) is a French professional medical society, structured as a thematic group of the Société Française de Dermatologie (SFD), dedicated exclusively to pediatric dermatology. Founded in the early 2000s by Pr Jean-Philippe Lacour and currently led by President Annabel Maruani, the organization trains physicians, promotes clinical research, and facilitates professional exchange among French dermato-pediatricians. It is governed by a 12-member elected board and operates from Paris (headquarters at Maison de la Dermatologie) with secretariat support in Nantes.

SFDP's core offerings include the DIU de Dermatologie Pédiatrique, an inter-university diploma delivered via a dedicated e-learning platform (diudermatopediatrie.upility.fr) comprising 48 courses over 26 weeks taught by 31 expert physicians across three university sites (Nice, Dijon, Nantes). Since 2012, the DIU has trained over 2,000 physicians, including more than 10% based outside France. Supporting products include continuing medical education resources (Articles FMC, therapeutic fact sheets, clinical vignettes, bibliographic analyses), the annual Journée Scientifique des 4 Saisons, regular newsletters (Lettres d'infos), peer-reviewed publications in journals such as JAMA Dermatol and Br J Dermatol, the GRSFDP multi-center research group, and awards programs (Prix Franck Boralevi, Prix Bioderma-SFDP).

SFDP operates as a non-profit association under French law, funded through recurring membership dues from physicians and healthcare professionals, supplemented by DIU tuition fees administered via partner universities and sponsorship from Bioderma. Distribution occurs through a self-serve member portal on sfdp.org, regional scientific events across French cities (Toulouse, Marseille, Bordeaux, Nice, Brest, Nantes), and direct partnerships with research networks (FRADEN, GREAT, CHU de Nantes, F-CRIN) and international bodies (ESPD, SPD).
