The 2025 IPC International Fellows spent the past year actively engaged in IPC’s global community, advancing their education through mentorship, collaboration, and hands-on learning in psoriasis care. Through virtual programming and in-person engagement with leading international experts, Fellows expanded their clinical perspectives and strengthened cross-regional connections. In this blog, get to know the members of the 2025 cohort, including their reflections and key takeaways captured during the 2025 IPC Think Tank Meeting. IPC is proud to recognize these early-career dermatologists and researchers for their commitment to collaboration, lifelong learning, and improving care for people living with psoriasis.
