Founding committee members Dr Sidra Khan, Dr Aakaash Varma, Dr Doriane Sabushimike and Prof Ncoza Dlova first met whilst carrying out field work for the Global Psoriasis Atlas in Moshi, Tanzania in July 2019. They shared a passion for improving dermatology education and global health. They founded the GLODERM Trainee Committee (GTC) in early 2020 and the committee grew as others with a shared vision and goal joined.
