2014 Edition
New faculty increase patient
access, subspecialty expertise
To 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.

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

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 PierreLouis, 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.
2 │ University of Minnesota
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.

HIGHLIGHTS
From the Dean
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.
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
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.
Dr. Brooks Jackson
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.

New faculty, continued
Goltz, continued
Ronda Farah, M.D., is a general dermatologist
specializing in medical, surgical and cosmetic
dermatology. Farah sees patients six half-days (four-hour
blocks of time) per week at Fairview Maple Grove Medical
Center and one half-day at University of Minnesota
Medical Center. With a special interest in research, she
offers patients opportunities to participate in clinical
trials. Farah completed her dermatology residency at the
University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.
least four diseases: multicentric
reticulohistiocytosis, focal dermal
hypoplasia, generalized elastolysis
and nevoid basal cell carcinoma
syndrome. He helped Dr. Robert J.
Gorlin describe the latter disorder
known today as Gorlin syndrome,
also referred to as Gorlin-Goltz
syndrome.
Sheilagh Maguiness, M.D., joined Kristen Hook, M.D.,
and Ingrid Polcari, M.D. in the fast-growing Division of
Pediatric Dermatology, which houses the only boardcertified pediatric dermatologists in the Twin Cities.
Maguiness’ clinical interests include vascular anomalies,
atopic dermatitis and birthmarks. She completed her
dermatology residency and a fellowship in pediatric
dermatology at the University of California, San Francisco.
Before joining the University of Minnesota faculty, she was
an attending physician at Children’s Hospital in Boston
and an instructor at Harvard Medical School.
The tribute dinner featured two
speakers sharing memories of
Goltz: internationally recognized
dermatologist and associate editor
of the Journal of the German
Dermatologic Association, Walter
Burgdorf, M.D., and founding
president of the European Society
for Pediatric Dermatology and
guest faculty at University of
Freiburg, Germany, Rudolf Happle,
M.D.
In addition to seeing patients in the Dermatology Clinic,
Daniel Miller, M.D., leads the department’s inpatient
consult service. As a dermatology hospitalist, Miller is
expanding the department’s presence and visibility in the
hospital and offering further specialized care for inpatients
with skin diseases.
With a background in dermatopathology, Miller will be
building the dermatopathology service to accommodate
the department’s growing clinical activities. He also plans
to work with the pathology department to develop a
fellowship in dermatopathology, further strengthening the
educational offerings of both departments.
Miller completed his residency at the University
of California, San Francisco, and a fellowship in
dermatopathology at Boston University Medical Center.
Margareth Pierre-Louis, M.D., M.B.A., who recently
completed her residency at the University of Minnesota,
joined the staff as a general dermatologist with special
expertise in hair diseases, as well as the distinct ways in
which dermatological conditions affect skin of color. Her
other interests include acne, psoriasis and hidradenitis
suppuritiva. She will work in the Dermatology Clinic eight
half-days per week.
Announced that evening was
the establishment of the Robert
W. Goltz, M.D., International
Dermatology Lectureship, which
will bring noted international
experts to the University of
Minnesota campus, continuing
Goltz’s engagement at the global
level. This lectureship joins the
Robert W. Goltz, M.D., Endowed
Professorship for Dermatology
Research, established in 2003,
in expanding Goltz’s legacy. The
first and current appointee to
this endowed position is George
L. Wilcox, Ph.D., a leading
neurophysiologist with an interest
in cutaneous pain.
Colleagues, friends, former students
and patients of Goltz are invited to
make a gift to the lectureship and
professorship funds. Please contact

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.

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.
Accreditation, continued
Much 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.
Division Highlights
Medical
Dermatology
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.”
The Ambulatory Surgery Center,
scheduled to open in 2016, will be
the new home for the
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 timeconsuming, the department’s CCC is
pleased with the process.

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.
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.
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.
“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.”
“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.”
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.
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.
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.
“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.”
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.

HIGHLIGHTS
Melanoma and Skin Cancer Program launched
in 2014
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.
“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 multicenter 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.

HIGHLIGHTS
New name simplifies patient experience
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, patientfocused 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 entities
associated 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.
“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.

EDUCATION
Chief Residents:
Drs. Christina Boull and Sara Hylwa
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
Chief Med/Derm Residents: Drs.
Education
Erin Luxenberg and Jennifer Hayes Representative:
Dr. Lisa Hurliman
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
Drs. Jennifer Hayes
med/derm fusion months, with Hayes focusing on
(top) and Erin
hematology/oncology and Luxenberg concentrating
Luxenberg
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
Derm/Path Representative:
Dr. Paul Jou
Coordinating a rich variety of lectures to support the
dermatopathology curriculum is the focus of derm/
path representative Paul Jou, M.D., M.S.
Dr. Lisa
Hurliman
“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.
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 JacobsonDunlop, M.D., at Twin Cities Dermatopathology.
Dr. Paul Jou
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.”

Research Day
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.”
Residents gain skin cancer
screening experience at
Aveda
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.”

CLINICAL CARE
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
New Faces
Minneapolis VA Health Care
System
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.
Brian Astry
Ph.D. Candidate
Kaplan Lab
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.
Alison Cunz
Patient Representative
Clinic 5A and Derm Surgery
“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.
Erin Flicek, L.P.N.
Clinic 5A
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.
