New faculty increase patient access, subspecialty expertiseTo meet growing patient demand, the Department of Dermatology added four new physicians in 2014. The new faculty members will allow the department to expand its general dermatology and subspecialty services, as well as provide additional mentoring for residents.
“These new physicians are adding to our capabilities and bring new ideas and expertise to serve our patients,” said department chair Maria Hordinsky, M.D. “It’s great to be able to offer more services and appointment times.”
The department plans to add at least two more faculty members in 2015. (continued on page 4)

Tribute dinner, lectureship honors work of legendary dermatologist
In September, dermatology professionals from around the world gathered to honor the lifetime achievements of Robert W. Goltz, M.D., who died on March 22, 2014.
In addition to his many contributions to dermatology both in the U.S. and abroad, Goltz served as University of Minnesota Department of Dermatology chair from 1970 to 1985. By that time, his name had become intimately associated with at (continued on page 4)
As I reflect on 2014, one word keeps coming front and center: momentum. Over the years, the Department of Dermatology has grown at an increasingly faster pace, and 2014 was no exception. (continued on page 2)

HIGHLIGHTS
Chair’s Corner, continued
Armed with a new strategic plan, Strategic Vision 2025, we entered the year with clear priorities and renewed energy. This was felt in every division of our department - medical dermatology, pediatric dermatology and dermatologic surgery - as you will see highlighted in this newsletter. Throughout the department, our faculty and staff embodied the University of Minnesota values of experience, excellence and engagement.
On the clinical side, we experienced a growth in faculty recruitment with the addition of four physicians (page 1). I’m so pleased to welcome Ronda Farah, M.D., Sheilagh Maguiness, M.D., Daniel Miller, M.D. and Margareth Pierre-Louis, M.D., M.B.A. Not only do these dermatologists increase our capacity to serve patients and educate residents, they also represent an increase in the services we offer - in some cases services not available anywhere else in the Twin Cities area.
We also embraced a more streamlined patient experience with the university’s introduction of a new unified brand: University of Minnesota Health (page 9). As a department under this brand, we will continue to work with leadership as it rolls out this patient-centered effort.
In 2014, 11 full-time research faculty submitted a total of 16 new grants, including five to the National Institutes of Health. Some of the areas of study represented in these grants include new treatments for blistering diseases, the establishment of a national registry for epidermolysis bullosa, prevention and treatment of skin cancer, and skin cancer in solid organ transplant patients, including participation in a national registry.
Our clinical research continues in alopecia and other hair diseases, as well as new treatments for plaque-type psoriasis. In the Kaplan Lab, Dan Kaplan, M.D., Ph.D., and colleagues continue to study dendritic immune cells to shed light on how the immune system responds to infections and participates in autoimmune diseases.
As educators, we’ve added new opportunities for our residents. With the additional faculty, residents have exposure to more mentors and areas of expertise. Our sites continue to add quality learning experiences and exposure to a variety of clientele (page 22). We’re so pleased that three of our residents will be joining the staff at HCMC this summer, receiving even more mentorship at that location. They are Sara Hylwa, M.D., Erin Luxenberg, M.D., and Jenny Liu, M.D. Another exciting addition is our first-ever pediatric dermatology fellowship, which will be filled by chief resident Christina Boull, M.D. Congratulations!
I want to thank the members of our accreditation team for a successful first-time implementation of the new Milestones accreditation process (page 5). They worked hard to develop a very intentional, thoughtful resident evaluation process that will provide us with valuable insight into our teaching program.
Early in the year, we lost one of the great leaders in dermatology and former department chair, Robert W. Goltz, M.D. We celebrated his life and accomplishments in September with a tribute dinner and the establishment of the Robert W. Goltz International Lectureship (page 1). I hope you will consider making a contribution to this unique lectureship, so we may continue Dr. Goltz’s legacy of excellence and inspiration.
In the coming year, we’ll be keeping the momentum going as we prepare to enter our new space at the M Health Clinics and Surgery Center in 2016. This new space couldn’t come at a better time for the department, and it will give us even more opportunity to continue our work as a top-tier academic medicine program.

I’m proud of the work the Department of Dermatology has done this year to support the strategic plan. Hiring for new expertise in the area of pediatric dermatology is one way to diversify our strengths and add value for patients who would otherwise need to travel out of the metro area for these important services. I am also excited for the development of a cosmetic dermatology program, which promises to create opportunities for Dermatology and Plastic Surgery to come together to solve interdisciplinary research and clinical challenges.
By this time next year, the Department of Dermatology and many of our other clinical departments will be operating from the new University of Minnesota Health Clinics and Surgery Center (previously known as Ambulatory Care Center). We’re on track to open this facility for patients in January 2016. We have a lot to look forward to in the year ahead. I am optimistic that through high-quality scholarship, commitment to care, and outstanding teaching and mentorship of our trainees and faculty - we’ll keep closing in on our major goals.
Sincerely,
Brooks Jackson, M.D., M.B.A.Dean, Medical SchoolVice President for Health Sciences
From the Dean
Dr. Brooks Jackson
In February 2014, I joined the University of Minnesota as dean of the Medical School and vice president for health sciences. As a former pathology resident at the UMN, it’s been great to return to campus in this new role and work to further the school’s mission.
To me, this medical school has always been remarkable for its passion. Our faculty cares about the work ahead, and they’re ready to face new challenges. They continue to show strong support for the strategic plan and its call for excellence in leadership, research, education and clinical care.
As you may recall, the faculty-led strategic plan, Strategic Vision 2025, came out in 2013 at the request of University President Eric Kaler, Ph.D. Last fall, Governor Mark Dayton also called for a Blue Ribbon Committee on the University of Minnesota Medical School. Its purpose was to examine how the state can support our journey to become a national leader in medical training, research and innovation. In January 2015, Gov. Dayton recommended a $30 million dollar investment in our Medical School to support additional tenure and tenure track faculty positions, freeze tuition, and attract top-performing students and faculty to our program.
The interest and support of our governor, president and faculty are a strong statement that our work here is valued and important to this community. With such large goals ahead, we need everyone’s help to move forward.

HIGHLIGHTS
Department of Dermatology implements new accreditation milestones
The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME, Chicago, IL) accredits all specialty and sub-specialty medical training programs in the United States. Recently, it introduced a new process to assess program and resident performance.
The new process is called Next Accreditation System (NAS) and represents a paradigm shift to resident evaluations that are more formative and developmentally based. The ACGME describes it as a move away from a one-size-fits-all approach to one that balances the need to standardize outcomes while allowing individualized education. In addition to giving more meaningful feedback to residents, the goal of the NAS is to empower strong programs to innovate and motivate struggling programs to improve.
The new review process took effect for specialties in 2014. The department formed a Clinical
Competency Committee (CCC), made up of representatives from all of the residency training sites and sub-specialties. Ingrid Polcari, M.D., is the chair of the committee, and members include Bruce Bart, M.D., Andrea Bershow, M.D., Kim Bohjanen, M.D., Ben Bornsztein, Ph.D., Neal Foman, M.D., M.S., Spencer Holmes, M.D., Daniel Miller, M.D., and Sarah Schram, M.D. The CCC worked hard to put in place the tools that helped faculty navigate the changes.
“The new process raises the standard of assessment for the benefit of trainees, the institution and the public,” explained Bornsztein.
In the past, accreditation was based on six core competencies: patient care and technical skills, medical knowledge, practice-based learning and improvement, interpersonal and communication skills, professionalism, and systems-based practice.
With NAS, the focus is on Milestones: 27 specific developmental points of resident behavior that faculty can observe and evaluate based on the resident’s level of experience. Residents progress along five levels of achievement for specific skills, knowledge and attitudes, such as interpreting diagnostic tests or having a difficult conversation with a patient.
Rather than using regular accreditation site visits, the new program focuses on self-reporting twice yearly, with a potential visit every 10 years. The CCC prepares and submits the reports, which contain a synthesis of the resident assessments. The department submitted its first report in October, 2014. (continued on page 6)

Division Highlights
Dermatologic Surgery
The year 2014 launched a period of expansion and increased patient access for the dermatologic surgery division.
The addition of Ronda Farah, M.D., provided more appointment options for patients both at the UMMC and in Maple Grove, and has allowed the department to expand its cosmetic offerings, including Botox and vascular laser treatments. In Maple Grove, dermal fillers and skin peel procedures were also added.
According to Sarah Schram, M.D., the division will be looking to add more general dermatologists and dermatologic surgeons in the upcoming year.
“Our move to the new Ambulatory Surgery Center in 2016 will allow us to expand even more, both in terms of what we offer and how often,” said Schram.
One of the new services available after the move will be resurfacing lasers, a technique that reduces skin irregularities such as scars.
This year was also the formal launch of the Melanoma and Skin Cancer Program, a multi-discipline partnership between Dermatology and a number of departments such as Surgical Oncology, Head and Neck Surgery, Radiation Oncology, Epidemiology and more.
For more information about the Melanoma and Skin Cancer Program, see article on page 8.
A major theme for the medical dermatology division in 2014 was one of access and growth. The addition of new faculty Ronda Farah, M.D., Dan Miller, M.D. and Margaret Pierre-Louis, M.D., M.B.A., increased the department’s capacity to offer more appointment times and see more patients, both at the University of Minnesota and Maple Grove sites.
“We’re so pleased to be able to increase access for our patients, even for same-day appointments,” said med derm program director Kim Bohjanen, M.D. “We’ll be able to build on this even more when we move into the new Ambulatory Surgery Center.”

Accreditation, continuedMuch preparation went into this first report. The CCC spent the earlier part of 2014 adapting evaluation tools provided by the Association of Professors of Dermatology. The goal was to get resident performance assessments from a number of perspectives: faculty, nurses, staff and patients. Once the tools were developed, each faculty member was assigned two to three residents to evaluate.
“The Milestones are very fair, and our residents are making progress,” said Polcari. “From what we are hearing, residents like the increased feedback they are getting from this new process.”
In addition to individual Milestones assessments, the program director meets with each resident twice a year to give and receive feedback.
On a broader level, one of the strengths of this new process is that it can help programs identify trends and opportunities for growth. The Program Evaluation Committee will use this valuable insight to inform discussions when it meets in the summer.
Although the first report was time-consuming, the department’s CCC is pleased with the process.

Pediatric Dermatology
The pediatric dermatology sub-specialty, based at the newly named Masonic Children’s Hospital, has been one of the fastest-growing programs in the Department of Dermatology. As the only pediatric dermatology practice in the Twin Cities area, the program is expanding to meet patient demand.
In 2014, Sheilagh Maguiness, M.D., joined Kristen Hook, M.D., and Ingrid Polcari, M.D., increasing patient access to dermatology services. She brings a strong background in atopic dermatitis and vascular lesions and was quickly named co-director of the Center for Pediatric Vascular Lesions.
“Dr. Maguiness has really hit the ground running,” said Hook. “We’re so excited to have her here, to build our programs and provide increased patient care.”
The division was also approved for a fellowship by the American Board of Dermatology. Chief resident Christina Boull, M.D., will be the department’s first pediatric dermatology fellow, starting in July.
With increased faculty, pediatric dermatology clinics are now taking appointments five days per week in the Explorer Clinic at Masonic Children’s Hospital. Hook conducts an outreach clinic at the Park Nicollet site two Mondays per month. The program is looking to expand its outreach efforts and plans to offer appointments at the University of Minnesota Physicians Pediatric Specialty Clinic - St. Paul in 2015.
On the teaching side, Hook developed and directs the department’s first freestanding, full-day continuing medical education (CME) course, titled “Pediatric Dermatology: Progress and Practices.” The course will be offered every other year and is available to pediatricians, primary care physicians, dermatologists and ancillary medical staff. This year it was the first event to take place in the new Wilf Auditorium at Masonic Children’s Hospital.
Minneapolis was chosen as the site for the national 2016 Annual Meeting for the Society of Pediatric Dermatology. As course directors for the event, Hook and Polcari (along with pediatric dermatologists from Mayo Clinic) have already begun to organize speakers and program content for the four-day July 2016 event.
medical dermatology program. All patient-centered activities will be housed on the third floor, with expanded services such as phototherapy and cosmetics. Academic offices and lab space will remain in the current location.
In 2014, the program increased its hospital presence with a dedicated faculty member to serve as lead of the adult inpatient service. Dan Miller, M.D., came on board, in part, to fill this role as well as lead the dermatopathology division.
“We wanted a more coordinated effort, really focusing on the continuity of care, on the inpatient service,” said Bohjanen. “Dr. Miller has a great vision for this position.”
“We’re going to implement more evaluation tools, and hopefully our efficiency will increase,” said Polcari. “Our focus is on making the process as meaningful as possible for our residents and the program.”

Melanoma and Skin Cancer Program launched in 2014
“In addition to reviewing patient cases and care, the program serves to coordinate and facilitate research,” added Schram.
The program has been successful in participation in clinical trials. Ongoing research includes a multi-center trial looking at the incidence of skin cancer in solid organ transplant patients. Additionally, Peter Lee, M.D., Ph.D., is leading research on oral treatments for advanced basal cell carcinoma.
In 2014, more than a dozen faculty from a number of disciplines formally launched the Melanoma and Skin Cancer Program. The idea behind the program is to provide a multidisciplinary approach to the management and treatment of a diverse group of diseases, including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, Merkel cell carcinoma, T cell lymphoma, squamous cell carcinoma and more.
“This group has been in place for some time, but we moved it now to a more formal entity,” explained Sarah Schram, M.D., a dermatologist in the program, along with Kim Bohjanen, M.D., Maria Hordinsky, M.D., and Peter Lee, M.D., Ph.D.
Hordinsky co-chairs the program with surgical oncologist Todd Tuttle, M.D., M.S. In addition to dermatology and surgical oncology, the program includes physicians from epidemiology, radiation oncology, medical oncology, head and neck surgery, and otolaryngology, and a representative from the clinical trials office.
While the group meets formally twice a month - once to discuss research, and once to review patient cases - Schram said doctors usually talk to one another on a weekly basis. The group also holds twice yearly meetings for the medical community to present and discuss cases.

New name simplifies patient experience
“We’ve developed a blueprint looking at every point of contact, which will take some time to fully implement,” said Hilgers.
Where applicable, this includes everything from external signage and marketing materials to a unified, one-stop Web presence (umnhealth.org). On campus, the goal is for patients to experience us as one organization, which means better,
more coordinated care from employees of each organization who work as one team under the same mission, vision and strategic plan. At partnering sites, the goal is for patients to experience University of Minnesota Health faculty and residents working seamlessly together with site staff.
Co-presidents of University of Minnesota Health are University of Minnesota Physicians Chief Executive Officer Bobbi Daniels, M.D., and Chief Operating Officer of Fairview Health Services, Carolyn Wilson, R.N.
In early 2014, University of Minnesota Health was introduced as the new brand for the combined services provided by University of Minnesota Physicians (UMP) and University of Minnesota Medical Center (UMMC). The University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital, University of Minnesota Cancer Care and University of Minnesota Heart Care are also included under this umbrella. Additionally, the Fairview name was officially dropped from UMMC. The Fairview name will remain at its other clinics and hospitals.
“Unifying these entities under one co-management model and one health brand represents our shared vision of an even stronger, patient-focused academic medical center,” said Jody Hilgers, VP Marketing, University of Minnesota Health.
The benefits of the new brand, says Hilgers, transfer to all departments that interface with patients, including the Department of Dermatology. The intent is to reduce the confusion the public has experienced around the different names and entitiesassociated with University of Minnesota medical services. The new name will simplify the consumer experience, creating a clear and consistent brand path from the point where they consider University of Minnesota Health to the point they become patients and receive care.

EDUCATION
In 2013, residents and faculty held a retreat to brainstorm about how to improve the residency program. Many good ideas came out of that work, which the former chief residents set into motion.
“They did such a good job last year identifying opportunities for improvement and enhancing the curriculum, we’re really just building on that work,” said Sara Hylwa, M.D., who is current chief resident along with Christina Boull, M.D.
Specifically, in addition to supporting the department’s 23 residents, Hylwa and Boull are continuing to organize curricula to match reading assignments, as well as increase the number of faculty lectures to cover core topics in the curriculum. Lectures are now offered approximately twice a week and rotate between the department’s four teaching sites.
“I’m especially grateful for our newer faculty members who have added lectures,” said Boull. “They stepped up right away and have been so generous with their expertise.”
A native of St. Paul, Boull attended Cornell University and the University of Minnesota Medical School. She completed her first residency in internal medicine/pediatrics at the University of Minnesota. It was then that she became attracted to the unique challenges of pediatric dermatology. Boull is the recipient of the Division of Pediatric Dermatology’s first fellowship, which begins in 2015. She plans to remain in academic medicine.
Hylwa attended Cornell University and completed medical school at the University of Buffalo. A native of Seneca Falls, New York, she completed an internship at the University of Rochester. Interested in research, Hylwa worked with investigators on delusional infestations for a year at Mayo Clinic - a condition that is psychological in nature but often first seen by dermatologists. After her residency, Hylwa will join the faculty at Hennepin County Medical Center to help build a robust general dermatology department. She will also assist in the growth of the hospital’s new patch test clinic.

EDUCATION
Representing the fourth graduating class of the Internal Medicine/Dermatology program are Jennifer Hayes, M.D., and Erin Luxenberg, M.D. As chief med/derm residents, they have initiated some changes to enhance the five-year med/derm residency experience.
"One goal is to make the fifth year more of a specialty year, with a focus on a specific interest, such as oncology, rheumatology, infectious diseases and others," said Luxenberg.
Similarly, the duo would like to concentrate fusion months together, instead of splitting them up throughout the year.
"The med-derm fusion months would allow for a deep understanding of advanced aspects of and how the disciplines of internal medicine and dermatology interface with one another," said Hayes.
Both chiefs are assisting in the curriculum for the med/derm fusion months, with Hayes focusing on hematology/oncology and Luxenberg concentrating on rheumatology. Additionally, they are developing a written resource outlining the medications with crossover between dermatology and other disciplines. The intention is to create a useful tool that would benefit all residents.
Luxenberg and Hayes have also been working with faculty to integrate the med/derm lecture series into the dermatology lecture series so that all residents can benefit. As a result, lecture topics such as wound care, vascular lesions and rheumatology are integrated with the dermatology curriculum. Previously held every other month, these lectures are now monthly.
Hayes received her undergraduate degree from the University of California, Los Angeles, where she also attended medical school. A native of California, Hayes plans to re-locate to the state after completing her residency.
Luxenberg graduated from Duke University and attended medical school at Georgetown University. She will join the faculty in the Dermatology Department at Hennepin County Medical Center this summer.

As education representative, Lisa Hurliman, M.D., Ph.D., carries out the usual task of organizing monthly journal club meetings to discuss articles in each of the two major publications: Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology (JAAD), and Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA Dermatology).
“Different this year,” said Hurliman, “is a focus on evidence-based medicine.”
For example, Hurliman brought in a medical librarian to teach residents how to maximize their use of search engines. She also tapped into the Society of Investigative Dermatology (SID) and shared information about how to use its website, journals and other research tools.
A native of Germany, Hurliman completed her Ph.D. and medical school at the University of Minnesota, as well as a residency in neurology. A desire for more outcomes-oriented medicine is what attracted Hurliman to dermatology.

EDUCATION
Coordinating a rich variety of lectures to support the dermatopathology curriculum is the focus of derm/path representative Paul Jou, M.D., M.S.
The goal, said Jou, is to continue the path set last year to revamp the department’s curriculum-based lecture series. A big step in this direction was an increase in the number of lectures, thanks in part to the addition of new faculty: Dan Miller, M.D., at the University of Minnesota, Kamruz Darabi, M.D., at Ridgeview Medical Center and Clinics, and Erick Jacobson-Dunlop, M.D., at Twin Cities Dermatopathology.
On Wednesday evenings, Twin Cities Dermatopathology, with Mark Wilke, M.D., hosts a lecture series for first-year residents, including dinner and an interactive discussion of case studies. New this year is a quarterly series with Robert Werling, M.D., at Park Nicollet, in which he collects the most interesting cases at the department and hosts a presentation and discussion. Also popular are the “Dermatopathy Unknown” sessions, in which Dr. Darabi presents unknown slides of skin conditions. Residents describe and identify what they see and provide a differential diagnosis.
“I’ve really enjoyed getting to know the faculty,” said Jou about his role as derm/path representative. “I like being able to help other residents improve their understanding of this very specialized aspect of dermatology.”
Jou’s path to dermatology was a non-traditional one. A native of California, Jou earned an undergraduate and master’s degree in Chemical Engineering, as well as an undergraduate degree in Music from Stanford University. He worked as a chemical engineer for four years before changing careers and attending medical school at Case Western Reserve University. Jou spent his transition year at Hennepin County Medical Center.
“Medicine is one of the few jobs out there where you get to do what you learn,” said Jou. “With skin, you see the response and it’s really nice. Patients are really happy when you’re able to help.”
As to his path after residency, Jou is rather open. “I haven’t really made a definitive decision regarding private practice or academia. I’m open to both. I do hope to one day return home to California where my family resides; however in the next few years, things are wide open.”
Derm/Path Representative: Dr. Paul Jou
“I like the mix of office and procedural work in dermatology,” said Hurliman. “I can use my neurology background to inform both of these aspects.”
Hurliman is in her second year of the 2+2 investigative residency program (two years of clinical, two years of research). Her research years will focus on cutaneous imaging. Hurliman’s goal is to stay in academic medicine.

EVENTS/VOLUNTEERING
This year’s speaker for Dermatology Research Day, held on February 12, 2014, was Lloyd Miller, M.D., Ph.D., Associate Professor in the Department of Dermatology at Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Miller’s talk was titled “Recent Insights into Immunity against Staphylococcus aureus Skin Infections.”
First place award in the Basic Science Project category went to Chen Yao, B.S., Research Assistant, for her project “The Function of Langerhans Cells (LC) and CD103+ dermal Dendritic Cells (dDC).” Addison Demer, MS3, came in first in the Clinical Research Project category for his project titled “A Practical Guide to Dermatologic Surgery in Patients with Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices.”
Research Day
For the past eight years, dermatology residents have had the unique opportunity to provide annual skin cancer screenings for employees at the Aveda Corporation headquarters in Blaine, Minn. About 75 employees take advantage of the voluntary screening at that location each year.
Beginning in 2015, residents will also provide the screenings to employees and students at the Aveda Institute in Minneapolis.
“As dermatologists, we are under the umbrella of the American Academy of Dermatology, which strongly advocates skin cancer screenings. For residents, this is often their first foray into that world, and it’s something they’ll continue to do throughout their careers,” said Neal Foman, M.D., M.S. Foman is the faculty supervisor for the screenings and organizes the program with Aveda’s wellness coordinator.
Aveda places a high priority on wellness, both for its customers and employees. In return for the annual screenings, the company provides a grant to the department for the purchase of educational materials for the residents.
According to Foman, residents love the program. It’s a great opportunity, he says, for residents to gain experience using the AAD screening forms and working with younger adults who wouldn’t normally seek out this service.
“We have picked up some skin cancers and made some referrals to dermatologists,” said Foman. “This really brings awareness to the importance of getting things checked, no matter what your age.”

Teaching Site Updates
Hennepin County Medical Center
Dermatology at Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC) has been preparing for some exciting changes surrounding the construction of a new
322,000 square-foot ambulatory care center across the street from the hospital’s emergency room entrance in downtown Minneapolis. According to Chief of Dermatology Bruce Bart, M.D., it is now official that the Department of Dermatology will move to the new center, which will open in April, 2017.
All HCMC dermatology services will be housed together in the new facility, including surgery, ultraviolet treatments, skin patch testing and a possible new laser center.
In the meantime, HCMC is expanding to meet patient demand with the addition of three new dermatologists, appointed from the University of Minnesota’s very own resident physicians. Sara Hylwa, M.D., Erin Luxenberg, M.D., and Jenny Liu, M.D., will join the site on September 16, 2015. They will all receive appointments to the University of Minnesota Department of Dermatology faculty.
To accommodate the increased staff while the ambulatory care center is under construction, Bart and his team are planning to expand the clinic space at the Parkside Clinic.
In addition, the site is preparing to bring on a dermatopathologist in early 2015 to increase resident exposure to dermatopathology.
Park Nicollet Clinic
The year 2014 marked the first full year of the Park Nicollet/HealthPartners merger. While this was a big change on a corporate level, according to site director Spencer Holmes, M.D., the merger hasn’t affected the dermatology residency program.
“As far as the residents are concerned, we continue to be an excellent training site due to the quality of our physician teachers and the exposure to a somewhat different patient population not found at the VA, U of M, or HCMC,” said Holmes.
Residents meet at the site for lectures on Wednesdays twice a month. Rotating residents had the opportunity to increase their exposure to pediatric dermatology, seeing pediatric patients with Kristen Hook, M.D., on Mondays twice monthly. Additionally, the site is working on plans to expand exposure to dermatopathology.
“Residents’ derm/path experience here is good, but new ideas for more derm/path experiences are being discussed,” noted Holmes.
Holmes stepped down as residency site director in June, when he retired from Park Nicollet. Cindy Olson, M.D., was named new site director. Holmes will be staying on as an adjunct clinical professor at the University of Minnesota site.

CLINICAL CARE
Minneapolis VA Health Care System
Minneapolis VA Health Care System (MVAHC) began 2014 with Neal Foman, M.D., M.S., as the new Chief of
Dermatology. Andrea Bershow, M.D., took on the role of residency program site director.
One of Foman’s many priorities was overseeing the completion of a new Mohs surgery unit. A search is underway to staff the unit for four full days per week. The MVAHC currently sends out about 30-40 patients per week to Mohs surgeons in the community.
“Having the unit on-site will be a huge convenience for our VA patients,” said Foman. “It will also provide residents with more exposure to the procedure, as we expect they will be rotating with the Mohs surgeons.”
Plans were also being discussed to increase the number of residents training at the site from seven to eight. Additionally, Foman is seeking to increase the number of faculty “to improve access to dermatology services and decrease wait times for patients,” he added. The site received VA and accreditation approval for the increases, which took effect in July.
Resident exposure to dermatopathology training doubled to twice per week, with the addition of a second dermatopathologist to the MVAHC staff. The site also began hosting afternoon lectures for residents as part of a new system of rotating lectures among the teaching sites.
