To what do
we aspire?
Healthy skin. Healthy lives.
A healthy life is our most basic aspiration. In dermatology we understand that healthy skin is a fundamental part
of this goal. This is what those in dermatology have committed their careers to doing — helping patients achieve
healthy skin, healthy lives.
Dermatologists do this in many ways; the most obvious, perhaps, is providing quality care to patients every day. But there’s more to it. It’s a dedication to
constant training and knowledge development to keep on top of a changing field. It also means making a positive impact on our communities. Those in
dermatology are giving time, expertise, and financial support to help people around the world achieve healthy skin, healthy lives.
Dermatology has a story to tell — many stories, in fact. They happen every day in dermatologists’ offices across the country. When we first met, Nancy
shared the story of experiencing a terrible rash that made her self-conscious about her appearance. Within 48 hours of seeing a dermatologist and
receiving treatment the rash was gone and Nancy felt healthier and more confident in her skin. Bill understood that experience immediately. It happens for
patients in his office very day. Stories like this are one of the great pleasures of practicing dermatology — making a visible impact on patients’ well-being.
I
That’s what Aspire will do — share the stories about all of us in the dermatology community: individual dermatologists volunteering skin care to
needy patients or supporting a cause or organization near to their hearts; corporations and their employees dedicating themselves professionally
and personally to advancing skin health; the Academy, with it its wealth of programs and services; and recognize those who support our mission
through donations and volunteerism. We will put faces and stories to those who help achieve the mission of healthy skin, healthy lives.
You may have read some of these stories in our newsletters Today and Tomorrow, which went to members and other individual donors, and
inPartnership, which was shared with our corporate partners. This new publication will consolidate and expand upon those efforts, tapping a wide
and varied pool of voices and stories that truly demonstrates all the time and resources you give to enhance the specialty and deepen the impact
of dermatology. Because when it comes to that core belief — that all people can and should aspire to and achieve healthy skin, healthy lives — we
are one community reaching for a shared goal.
We hope the joy that we have infused into these stories is infectious. We are proud of what they say about our specialty and think you’ll agree.
Don’t hesitate to share Aspire with your patients by putting this issue in your waiting room after you have read it.
One more thing. We know this first issue of Aspire is just the tip of the iceberg. This publication is about you and what you’re doing in your
community. We want to hear from you! If you have a story you want to share, an opinion about the magazine, or want more information on
anything you read about let us know today at [email protected]. We also encourage you to visit our new webpage, www.SupportAAD.org, dedicated

Dermatology: A special magic
An interview with Galderma’s Humberto Antunes
A
passion. This is how Galderma
describes its commitment to
dermatology and to advancing the
care and treatment of dermatology
patients. It’s a passion that all in the
dermatology community relate to and
participate in.
For Galderma this commitment
includes a robust research investment,
a commitment to nurturing physician
relationships, as well as strong
support for organizations like the
American Academy of Dermatology
that serve dermatologists and their
patients. Galderma has been an AAD
corporate partner for many years,
most recently supporting the launch
of a fellowship for dermatologists in
translational biotechnology research.
Aspire recently spoke with Galderma
CEO Humberto Antunes about this
long and fruitful partnership.
Q
A

141750.indd 4
You support the AAD
personally, not just through
Galderma. How is the AAD’s
vision of “Healthy skin, healthy
lives” important to you?
As a 30-year veteran of
dermatology, I am passionate
about the skin. The skin is our
most visible organ and in many
ways the interface by which we
interact with the world. The skin
is also vital to our perception of
self. To me, these factors give
dermatology a special magic
that you do not get in other
disciplines. Supporting the AAD
helps the specialty to advance
and to grow.
Your website states that
“dermatologists hold a distinctive
position in improving human
health.” What makes the company
feel this way?
The skin is not just important to
physical health; it also plays a major
role in psychological health and social
interactions. This enables improvements
in dermatology to have a positive effect
on every aspect of patients’ lives.
How important is it to Galderma to
have a good working relationship
with dermatologists?
The “derma” in our name stands
for skin. We are not just a general
pharmaceutical company that makes
effective and safe medical solutions
for the skin. Galderma has remained
exclusively dedicated to the skin and
to the advancement of dermatology.
Dermatology is the only thing we do,
and the dermatologist is at the heart
of that.
How does partnering with the AAD
help to put patients first?
Dermatologists and other health care
professionals have an empathetic
understanding of the patient
experience. Galderma is dedicated to
improving that experience. Working
closely with dermatologists thus helps
us to determine how we can positively
impact the lives of patients. Both
the AAD and Galderma share the
same passion for serving the patient,
making the partnership a natural fit.
Each year Galderma invests 20 percent
of its global sales into research. Why is
research such a priority?
New treatments can improve the
overall health and quality of people’s
lives immeasurably. But there is
no science and innovation without
strong investments. The future of
dermatology depends on the research
we undertake now.
You recently partnered with AAD
in the research area to launch the
AAD Translational Biotechnology
Fellowship at Galderma. Tell us
about the program.
Galderma is hosting two one-year
fellows, one beginning in 2013 and
another starting in January 2014.
These unique fellowships provide the
opportunity for a physician to gain
experience working in dermatological
drug development and translational
medical research. They are hosted at
Galderma’s research and development
facility in Sophia Antipolis, France.
What does the future hold for
dermatology?
The world’s population is both growing
and aging. These changes will increase
the demand for dermatological
care and also present new medical
challenges. At Galderma, our mission
is to meet people’s changing skin
needs throughout life by delivering
medical solutions for everyone. We
want to bring dermatology and skin
health to all, and I expect that our
partnership with the AAD will continue
to be a crucial part of that effort. •

The Leadership Institute:
Supporting the advancement of growth
among dermatologists
By Amit Garg, MD
A
s dermatologists, we have opportunities to lead
in a multitude of arenas including community
based practice, academia, policy making and
advocacy, and organized medicine. Few of us are
naturally equipped with the ability to lead most
effectively, and many of us overlook the key moments
of introspection that inform us of our opportunity to
make self-improvements. Now maybe I slept through
my medical school or residency lectures on time
management, getting tasks done, giving effective
feedback, managing my hot buttons, resolving
conflict, building a practice culture, leading change,
delivering a great media message… Or wait, is it,
like it is for most of us, that I never received content
around leadership that facilitated self-reflection on
my proficiency with these skills and the ability to
augment them?
Even after training, I found there was a gap in
faculty development and leadership training programs,
at least at academic medical centers. The available
programming was fairly limited, and to me, always
seemed rather generic with respect to content, phase of
career, and specialty. My search led me to the American
Academy of Dermatology’s Leadership Institute (LI). I
found the institute to be comprised of experienced and
thoughtful individuals who worked with content experts
to put together programs to fit the needs of physicians
in all three major career phases and in most settings.
One of my most valuable experiences from the
LI has been getting and giving the most out of
mentorship. I’ve spent a lot of time in mentored
relationships, on both sides of the experience.
Come to think of it, I’ve even had both roles in
the same relationship, and that’s a testament to the
bidirectionality of truly great mentoring relationships.
The mentoring skills I have developed and
enhanced through the LI have helped me become
more effective in my various roles in academia, which
have involved working closely with trainees as well as
About the
Leadership Institute
The American Academy of
Dermatology’s Leadership Institute
provides training and mentoring
opportunities to help dermatologists
develop skills to become leaders
in their careers, their communities,
and organized medicine. Programs
include courses at the Academy’s
Annual and Summer Meetings, a
weekend Leadership Forum for early
career dermatologists, an Academic
Dermatology Leadership Program,
and a Mastery Course for those
with advanced leadership skills. The
program also provides networking
and mentoring opportunities.
new faculty. Specifically, I have a better appreciation
of my roles and responsibilities as a mentor, and I also
know what a good mentee needs to bring to the table.
My mentoring sessions are more structured, which
optimizes the experience and the outcomes. I realize
the necessity of using active listening skills, and I have
become more effective at offering meaningful and
sometimes difficult feedback.
It’s an exciting time for me personally, and I am
looking forward to the challenges and the rewards
that come with a new leadership position as chair
of a dermatology department. I’ve only been on
the job a couple of months, though already I have
deep appreciation for the skill sets required as well as
recognition of the contributions from the LI that will
allow me to be most effective in this opportunity. I
don’t think I would have been as well prepared to take
on new leadership experiences without this breadth
of training, and it wasn’t something that was readily
available to me elsewhere.
I am recommending the LI to anyone who wishes
to be more effective in their immediate sphere of
influence and also to those who are looking to expand
this sphere with the intention of improving society and
profession. From my perspective, not engaging the LI
in some capacity, either as a leader or one in training,
is a missed opportunity.

141750.indd 6
For 15 years, the American Academy of Dermatology has
been doing just that through the Play Sun Smart™ program,
a partnership with Major League Baseball (MLB) and the MLB
Players Association. The program elevates awareness of skin
cancer detection and prevention among baseball players and
fans and provides screenings to baseball players, team staff,
and fans. “The reality is our game is one that’s played out in
the elements and often in the sun. To be responsible for our
kids and ourselves, we’ve got to protect ourselves,” observed
Cleveland Indians President Mark Shapiro. “Although being
outside can be one of the greatest things in the world
— watching baseball, playing baseball — it can also be
something where a lot of damage is incurred, potentially lifethreatening, if you don’t take the right precautions.”
The program started with a just a few teams in 1999 and
has expanded significantly over the years. During this time
dermatologists have given thousands of skin cancer screenings
to MLB players and staff and raised awareness among
hundreds of thousands of fans watching the games.
“It’s a one-two punch,” said dermatologist Darrell Rigel,
MD, who helped to launch the program and has been an
active volunteer since. “Our screenings have identified cancers
and precancers on players and coaches as well staff and family
members. And at the same time, we’re getting the word out to
fans about prevention and early detection.”
Play Sun Smart has a special place in the heart of MLB
Commissioner Bud Selig, a melanoma survivor. “This cause
is especially close to me, and I am proud that we continue to
work with the American Academy of Dermatology to educate
as many people as possible about skin cancer prevention and
detection,” he said.
Play Sun Smart hit hard with its message of prevention
and early detection during the anniversary year, with high
profile activities at ballparks across the league. Public address
announcements reminded fans to reapply sunscreen during
the 7th inning stretch and crowds watched an animated Play
Sun Smart race on the Jumbotron featuring tips for staying
safe in the sun. The Oakland A’s and Philadelphia Phillies
stenciled the Play Sun Smart logo onto the field for games.
In Seattle, two-time All-Star and former Mariner John Olerud
made a special Play Sun Smart appearance with his dad,
dermatologist John Olerud, MD, during a Mariner’s game.
Skin cancer patients lent faces, voices, and stories of survival
at many games, where they were honored during pregame
ceremonies; several threw out the first pitch. In Miami, Fox
Sports interviewed T. J. Sharp, who has blogged about his
battle with melanoma under the moniker Patient #1.
Kids played a prominent role in the anniversary activities.
At many parks baseball’s youngest fans pitched in and
delivered sunscreen to dugouts before the game. The Arizona
Diamondbacks honored the winner of a kids’ sun-safety poster
contest conducted in partnership with the state’s Department
of Health Services. At Chicago’s Wrigley Field, the AAD and the
Pediatric Sun Protection Foundation distributed 4,000 youthsized sun-safety T-shirts to young fans attending the game.
Hundreds of thousands of baseball fans attended the various
festivities, and potentially millions more saw them on television
or heard about them in the media, proving that Play Sun Smart is
a powerful vehicle for the AAD’s SPOT Skin Cancer™ messages.
SPOT, which encompasses a range of skin cancer programs and
initiatives, including Play Sun Smart, educates the public about skin
cancer and encourages action to prevent and detect skin cancer. •

So many people think dermatologists focus
mainly on cosmetics. But the reality is that they
are out there in the community saving lives.
Linda Pelligra, 13-year melanoma skin cancer survivor
By Jeff De La Rosa
Annie Appleby was enjoying a sun-drenched jog on California’s Santa Monica Beach
when a stranger demanded her attention. “He practically grabbed me off the path,” recalls
the fitness-conscious Appleby, founder and creative director of YogaForce. “Informing me that
he was a dermatologist, he pointed out a large freckle on my back, just below the strap of my
bikini top and told me ‘Get it looked at immediately’.”
Florida news reporter Kate Eckman was home for Thanksgiving when her brother, a
physician, noticed a dry scaly patch on her forehead. “The spot had been developing
for years,” remembers Eckman. “I thought it was from touching my face, adjusting my
hair. I had kept it hidden under makeup.” Eckman’s brother told her he thought it could
be cancer.
Linda Pilkington Pelligra noticed a sudden change in an otherwise normal looking mole.
The businesswoman and mother got to a physician as soon as possible. “I never thought I
could have cancer.”
These women are not just three of the millions of people who are diagnosed with skin cancer each
year. Rather, they are survivors in the battle against a deadly disease. Not an invisible killer but a
visible one, betrayed by telltale marks if one knows what to look for.
Eckman was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma. The disease has a 99 percent survival rate, but can
result in significant morbidity, including disfigurement and scarring. Appleby and Pelligra were diagnosed
with melanoma, which claims thousands of lives every year. All three experienced positive >>

outcomes, and, in the case of Abbleby and Pelligra, had their
lives saved thanks to the intervention of dermatologists on the
frontline of the fight against this visible killer. “So many people think
dermatologists focus mainly on cosmetics,” Pelligra observes. “But
the reality is that they are out
there in the community saving
lives.”
“The personal connection
between dermatologist and
patient is especially important
with skin cancer,” says Hensin
Tsao, MD, melanoma researcher
and chairman of the American
Academy of Dermatology
(AAD) Melanoma/Skin Cancer
Committee. “Cancer is an
incredibly charged diagnosis.
There is a lot of fear about the
future.” Appleby puts it more
directly. “Cancer is a very scary

to you.” Pelligra recalls sitting at

options.” Pelligra had the worst prognosis of the three. Her cancer
had spread to the lymph nodes, which had to be removed surgically.
There followed a year of treatment with interferon. She likens the
medicine’s side effects to the symptoms of a severe flu that lasted all
year. “But I’m here, 13 years later,” she
observes gratefully. “I’ve been seeing the
dermatologist who diagnosed me ever
since. She was caring and compassionate,
everything I needed her to be at that time.”
Dermatologist tells skin cancer
‘Take a hike’
Dermatologist Ellen S. Marmur, MD, has one
thing to say to skin cancer: Take. A. Hike.
The outdoor enthusiast, hiker, and skin cancer
survivor is backing up the strong words with
stronger actions. In July 2014 she will take a
16,732 foot hike up the face of Tanzania’s Mt.
Kilimanjaro to raise awareness and funds for
AAD’s SPOT Skin CancerTM.
“As one who knows about the dangers of
high-altitude exposure to UV, I have committed
to climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro with a group of likeminded women as a visible way of educating
the public about skin cancer prevention and
detection,” said Dr. Marmur.
All three survivors were saved through
timely medical intervention by vigilant and
skilled clinicians, including dermatologists.
But treatment is just one front in the battle
against skin cancer. Millions more lives can
be saved through advances in education
and awareness.
“We view skin cancer as an important
problem and a purely preventable one,”
says Rear Admiral Boris Lushniak, MD, a
dermatologist and acting United States
Surgeon General. “We know there is a
small subset of people predisposed to
melanoma. But for the majority of people,
we think the problem could be solved with
prevention.” Dr. Lushniak compares the
growing public awareness of skin cancer
to the drastic change in attitudes toward
smoking, which began 50 years ago with
the Surgeon General’s first report on the
subject. “In the world that I grew up in,
it seemed that everyone was smoking.
Likewise, people were intentionally
exposing themselves to sunlight without
protecting their skin.”
At diagnosis, Annie Appleby’s
melanoma had already spread
deep into the skin, and there
was some fear the cancer had
metastasized. Appleby recalls

and staff had to stand in for my family.”
“None of us really knew about skin cancer.”

Kate Eckman shared her story, including graphic depictions of her
surgery, with television news viewers. “I wanted people to see the unsexy
side of sunbathing, the ugly side of not caring for your skin. I would
rather be someone’s lesson than to have them go through it themselves.”

Linda Pelligra left her job in the pharmaceutical industry to join
the Melanoma Research Foundation. She remains active in the battle
against skin cancer as a patient advocate. For 13 years she has been
cancer free but still undergoes yearly screenings. Looking back on her
struggle with skin cancer, she says, “I hate to think of all the ‘what if’s’.”
228,000
The Surgeon General’s office has set a 10-year goal to reduce
melanoma deaths by 10 percent. But in order to succeed in such
goals, Dr. Lushniak explains, “we need dermatologists to take
up such goals and to broadcast them. We need buy-in from the
dermatological community and the public.”
The Surgeon General’s goal is one that dermatologists, through
the American Academy of Dermatology and its SPOT Skin Cancer
program, have long been committed to. Through various programs,
including skin cancer screening, public awareness advertising,
advocating for indoor tanning restrictions, online educational
resources, and much more, the AAD and its SPOT program are
working to raise awareness of detection and prevention.
Three patients fought and won a battle against this visible foe.
Many more battles are out there, waiting to be won. •

In the Community
On a daily basis individuals are taking action to promote healthy skin and healthy lives from the local to the global community.
In each issue Aspire’s “In the Community column will recognize individual activities and accomplishments that serve this mission. If
you or someone you know has volunteered with a community service organization — within dermatology, medicine, or otherwise —
participated in a medical mission, won an award, or made any type of civic contribution, we want to hear from you. Please submit
your name and brief description of the activity or accomplishment to [email protected].

GLOBAL COMMUNITY
In 2013, 15 dermatology residents
received the AAD’s Resident
International Grant. Grant
winners received funds to travel
to Gaborone, Botswana, where
they rotate between the Princess
Marina Hospital and the Baylor
International Pediatric AIDS
Initiative (BIPAI). The program
allows residents to learn about the
care of tropical and HIV-related
dermatologic conditions and
gain experience providing care
with finite resources. Grants were
awarded to Shane Clark, MD,
Marcelyn Coley, MD, Bethany
Cook, MD, Jeremy Davis, MD,
Kanya Furguson, MD, Shilpa
Gattu, MD, Rachel Gormley,
MD, Tamia Harris, MD, Julia
Kasprzak, MD, Jo Martin, MD,
Onaopemipo Ofodile, MD,
Swapna Reddy, MD, Caitriona
Ryan, MD, Michelle Scott, MD,
and Robert Stavert, MD. On-site
set up of the clinic in 2013 was
provided by dermatologist Adam
D. Lipworth, MD, who also
supervised the first week of the
program.
As part of an effort by the Global
Health Service Partnership,
which seeks to expand the base of
medical educators in countries with
12
141750.indd 12
critical provider shortages,
dermatologist Scott
Norton, MD, and dermatology
resident Dominique Pichard,
MD, volunteered to train
Peace Corps volunteers to
better recognize and treat
dermatologic conditions.
As part of their effort they
distributed the AAD’s laminated
teaching cards. The partnership
is a joint effort of the Peace
Corps, the U.S. Government,
and Seed Global Health.
The AAD’s SkinCare in
Developing Countries Grant
Program provides grant
funding to assist volunteer and
humanitarian projects that serve
beneficiaries in underserved
regions of the world. In 2013
the AAD awarded three grants.
Isabel Maria del Pilar Casa, MD,
received funding to support a
community dermatology program
in Argentina. Efforts supporting
teledermatology in Botswana,
Guatemala, and South Africa were
supported by a grant to Carrie
L. Kovarik, MD. A grant was also
awarded to Mohamed Al-Kamel,
MD, to help with efforts at the
Regional Leishmaniasis Control
Center in Yemen. •
Gormley, MD (left in photo), a third-year dermatology resident at the
University of Pennsylvania, caught an atypical lesion while volunteering
for the AAD’s AccessDerm program, which provides free outpatient
teledermatology consultations to primary care providers seeing
underserved patients across the U.S. Residents like Dr. Gormley can
make initial assessments and give recommendations, which are then
reviewed by an attending dermatologist. After reviewing an image
submitted to AccessDerm, Dr. Gormley leapt into action. Believing
it was a potential melanoma, she shared it with attending physician
Rudolph Roth, MD, who agreed. And, with Dr. Gormley’s help, the
patient was seen promptly in UPenn’s dermatology clinic, where
an excisional biopsy was performed. Dr. Gormley also assisted the
surgeon during the full therapeutic excision.
Dr. Gormley shares credit for this positive patient outcome — the
first melanoma caught and cured thanks to AccessDerm — with her
mentors and colleagues at UPenn, including Carrie Kovarik, MD, and
Bill James, MD, who tirelessly championed the launch of the program
in 2010. “AccessDerm at Penn really is a team sport with engaged,
compassionate primary care doctors on the front lines of community
health in Philly, a great group of volunteer dermatologists, and of
course, the wonderful group of patients we have the opportunity to
serve. We are all united by the belief that everyone deserves care,”
Dr. Gormley said.
This patient — who according to the referring physician lacked
insurance and would not have otherwise received care — perfectly
exemplifies the mission of AccessDerm and its volunteers at UPenn and
nationwide. AccessDerm has provided consultations to nearly 1,000
underserved patients to date. Dermatologists can learn more about
how to volunteer for the program at www.aad.org/AccessDerm. •

AMERICAN ACADEMY OF DERMATOLOGY

Robert Kalb, MD:
AAD member honored for volunteerism
obert Kalb, MD, knows firsthand how education can shape the path
Rof nine
of a person’s life in potent and positive ways. The first of his family
children to attend college, he moved on from there to medical
school, residency training, and a fulfilling career in dermatology. His
gratitude for that opportunity has fueled a lifelong commitment to the
educational aspirations of others.
Since 2006 Dr. Kalb and his family have volunteered in Cambodia
with Health Volunteers Overseas, an organization built on the
philosophy that if you teach a man to fish you feed him for a lifetime.
Dr. Kalb is now the program director for HVO’s site in Phnom Penh.
His days there are busy, training medical students and supervising
them in a dermatology clinic treating diseases such as scurvy, pellagra,
and Hansen’s, diseases that have been all but wiped out in the U.S.
Familiar diseases are often more challenging and severe due to lack of
treatment, delayed care, or insufficient medication. Dr. Kalb embraces
those challenges as an opportunity to learn and grow himself. “It’s
very worthwhile to see what dermatology is like in another country,
what the access to health care is like, and what people struggle with.
It helped us appreciate what we have,” he said.
The American Academy of Dermatology is a sponsor of HVO,
through which volunteer physicians provide care, but also train health
care providers in developing countries around the world, leaving
behind critical knowledge and skills. In Cambodia, a country of 15
million with only one board certified dermatologist, the expertise
imparted by dermatologists like Dr. Kalb, has a profound and lasting
impact.
In 2013 Dr. Kalb’s dedication was honored by Health Volunteers
Overseas who awarded him their Golden Apple Award for his
extraordinary contributions to dermatologic education in Cambodia.
He is the first dermatologist to receive this award. “I’ve long been a
believer in the power of education to lift someone out of poverty,”
said Dr. Kalb of his commitment to HVO and dermatologic care in
Cambodia. •
LOCAL COMMUNITY
In 2013, four dermatology
residents were recipients of the
AAD’s Native American Health
Services Resident Rotation
Grant and completed rotations
providing dermatologic care to
the Navajo Nation population in
Chinle, Ariz. Tracy Donahue, MD,
Jeffery Tiger, MD, Thuzar Shin,
MD, and Michelle Scott, MD,
worked with primary health care
providers to assist with diagnosis
and management of dermatologic
diseases under the supervision of
the Indian Health Service.
Dermatologists across the U.S.
volunteer to provide expert
consultative care to underserved
patients through the Academy’s
AccessDerm telemedicine program.
Through the program, primary care
physicians in community clinics
can submit images for review and
diagnosis by a dermatologist.

W in Botswana? Caitriona Ryan, MD, a
hat would it be like to practice dermatology
PGY4-dermatology resident at Baylor University
in Dallas can tell you first hand. It is an effort of
innovation, creativity, and diligence.
In 2013, Dr. Ryan went to Gaborone,
Botswana, as the recipient of the Academy’s
Resident International Grant. There, because of
limited resources, she learned how to employ
innovative practice models to treat patients
with tropical and HIV-related dermatologic
conditions, “I am quite certain that the month I
spent in Botswana will have a profound effect on
my dermatology career and my life in general,”
she said. “The opportunity afforded to me by
The American Academy of Dermatology and the
University of Pennsylvania, under the leadership
of Carrie Kovarik, MD, has helped me learn how
to be resourceful and effective. They have also
succeeded in creating an incredible symbiotic
health care partnership in Botswana.”
Dr. Ryan’s passion for dermatology and her
patients is reflective in how she spent her free
time in Botswana. After long, busy days treating
patients, she made time to work on a recently
published paper, Research gaps in psoriasis:
141750.indd 20
Opportunities for future studies, which
appeared in the January 2014 issue of JAAD.
The paper, of which she is a co-author, outlines
recommendations to advance understanding
and treatment of this chronic disease.
Despite electricity cuts for energy
conservation and occasional issues with WiFi, Dr. Ryan, completed the article while in
Botswana. Not one to dwell on the difficulties,
Dr. Ryan, describes the opportunity as “a great
privilege.” She will finish her residency training
this year and will join the faculty at Baylor
University Medical Center. •
