REPORT FROM THE TRUSTEES

At the end of the Dermatology Foundation’s 39th year, we are proud to

report that the Foundation’s mission of advancing patient care by building

research and teaching careers throughout dermatology is strong and on-

going. The Foundation’s continued fund-raising success has enabled us to

fund a record number of investigators throughout medical and surgical dermatology and to once again

expand the Research Awards Program. Starting in 2004 multi-year funding targeted to those pursuing

careers in medical dermatology began in order to build the knowledge-base of medical dermatology

and to address severe dermatologic diseases. (Details on all levels of support begin on page 10.) The

Dermatology Foundation’s multi-faceted commitment to professional education through its publica-

tions—Dermatology Focus and Progress in Dermatology—and CME program—Colloquium on Clinical

Dermatology—provided dermatologists with current and forward-reaching information. And, outreach

to residents continued through the “Better Skin Care through Research” presentation, part of the DF’s

Project Awareness. Since it began in 2000, 1,000 first through third year residents have learned about

the vital role research plays in their training and career development and how the Foundation’s funding

makes this happen.

GOVERNANCE & ADMINISTRATION

The following members of the specialty concluded their terms on the Board of Trustees and have our

profound appreciation for their involvement and guidance: Drs Alistair Carruthers, Barbara A. Gilchrest

and Amy Paller.

Hundreds of members of the specialty volunteer on behalf of the Foundation and its programs.

The Trustees wish to honor the Leaders Society and Annenberg Circle physician network for their fund-

raising successes, the Association of Professors of Dermatology for providing faculty members for the

Annual Colloquium, and the members of the Medical and Scientific Committee and Panels for their

deliberations on applications for the Research Awards Program. Each of these DF constituencies repre-

sents the highest level of commitment within the specialty.

We also recognize the dedicated and determined stewardship of Foundation Executive Director

Sandra Rahn Benz. Since 1979 she has guided the Foundation to its current status in dermatology and

the non-profit world. We appreciate her commitment and look forward to working with her to build on

her first 25 years.

On behalf of our fellow Trustees, we thank all members of the specialty and our corporate partners

for their sustaining support of the Dermatology Foundation’s on-going programs in research and

education. This commitment—over nearly four decades—is shaping the future of dermatology.

2 DERMATOLOGY FOUNDATION

The annual achievements of the Leaders Society Campaign, which is

the compelling entity behind the success of the Leaders Society,

involves the work of over 200 dermatologists. The DF recognizes

them not only in the 2003 Leaders Society Roster which begins on

page 13, but in these highlights, including these Campaign State and

Vice Chairs and members of the Board of Trustees who enrolled

three or more new or former Leaders Society members.

RECAPPING 03Record Giving Builds Research and Teaching CareersYear-end results for 2003 show financial support from dermatolo-

gists and industry at record levels: $5.3 million given in support of

the Foundation’s mission to advance patient care by developing

the research and teaching careers of future leaders in medical

and surgical dermatology.

This annual-giving record not only provided for current

needs but raised the Research Endowment Fund to a new high

of $5.4 million.

The generosity of individual dermatologists was impressive:

Giving from over 2,200 individual dermatologists exceeded $2 million for the second consecutive year

Of this cadre of medical and surgical dermatologists, nearly 1,200 contributed $1,000 through the Leaders Society

Membership in the Annenberg Circle with its lifetime commitment of $25,000 grew over 67% to 205 members

Primary Mechanisms for SuccessThe Leaders Society and the Annenberg Circle— reached noteworthy benchmarks in 2003:

15th Anniversary of the Leaders SocietyThe Leaders Society is remarkable not only for its longevity, but for

its vitality and ability to attract new and renewing members. What

began with fewer than 100 colleagues in 1989 has grown consistently

each year, and its members have invested $14 million to advance

patient care by building research and teaching careers in medical

and surgical dermatology. The Dermatology Foundation is proud

to recognize the members of the 2003 Leaders Society on pages

13-19 of this report. Simultaneously, we want to thank a special

group of Leaders Society colleagues who have made this generous

commitment to the specialty early in their careers. Following is a

list of “Young Leaders”—those within their first five years post-

residency—who, as emerging leaders in medical and surgical derma-

tology, challenge all of us to provide for the future of dermatology.

2003 ANNUAL REPORT 3

The most significant outgrowth of the Leaders Society also celebrated an important anniversary.

10th Anniversary of the Annenberg Circle As the Dermatology Foundation’s major gifts program, the Annenberg Circle, whose members make a lifetime commitment of $25,000 over five years, derived from the desire of its 33 Founders to do more to advance patient care by developing researchers and educators in dermatology. Since it was established, the Annenberg Circle has grown to 205 dermatologists and members of the lay public by the end of 2003, and its members’ philanthropy is a significant part of the overall $14 million given through the Leaders Society and Annenberg Circle.

DF Corporate PartnersIndustry’s corresponding response in support of the DF’s mission completed the cycle of generosity.

The $2.3 million given by corporations, specialty societies, and state/regional dermatologic associations assures continuity and growth of research funding as well as DF’s two quarterly professional publications and its annual CME program. In addition to the exceptional, on-going $1 million multi-year commitments of Dermik Laboratories, Inc., Fujisawa Healthcare, Inc., Galderma Laboratories, L.P., Ortho Neutrogena, and Stiefel Laboratories, Inc., the Foundation acknowledges the following Corporate Partners who have earmarked $50,000 or more to the 2004 Research Awards Program. Because the development of research and teaching careers in medical and surgical dermatology is the primary way in which the Dermatology Foundation serves and advances the specialty, this commitment is especially meaningful.

04Physician Scientist Career Development Award

These multi-year awards provide $55,000 annual salary stipends in support of the academic careers of physician-

scientists who are devoted to clinical dermatology. They are designed to assist junior investigators—in the early stages

of their careers—transition from fellowship to established investigator. The researchers pictured here are newly-

funded to pursue the following investigations.

Genomic Programs of Fibroblast DifferentiationSkin from different sites of the body show many differences; they are major clues for derma-tologists to diagnose many diseases. We found that positional memory in skin resides in a class of cells called fibroblasts. Understanding the control and action of fibroblasts genes will provide many answers to how the skin develops, why certain diseases localize to specific sites, and how cancer can spread from one part of the body to another.

Novel Immunotherapy of Malignant Melanoma with Melanosomal AntigensThe creation of cancer vaccines has been challenging. We will generate a new vaccine paradigm using whole recombinant yeast to target malignant melanoma. The efficacy of the vaccine will be studied using developing and pre-existing melanomas in mice. Our study will lead to the development of a practical and powerful vaccine that can be used not only to treat melanoma but to prevent melanoma in the future.

Generation and Analysis of Langerhans Cells Deficient MiceIn addition to serving as a physical barrier, the skin is also a front-line where cells of the immune system can identify and combat foreign pathogens. Langerhans cells are a key component of this system. We propose to generate several transgenic mouse lines with absent or deficient Langerhans cells in order to clarify the functional roles of these cells in skin immunity and to provide a scientific foundation for their potential therapeutic manipulation.

lL-12 and Basal Cell Carcinoma: Exploring the lmmunomodulatory Effects of Sonic HedgehogBasal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is the most common human cancer. While generally not life threatening, BCC can cause significant disfigurement. BCCs are more frequent in chronicallyimmunosuppressed patients. Recently, advances have been made in understanding this cancer ata molecular level. In particular, a set of genes termed the Sonic Hedgehog signaling system (Shh), have been shown to be altered in BCC. We will explore how Shh affects local immunity to allow tumor growth.

The Role of the Skin Barrier in Atopic Dermatitis Development and PreventionAtopic dermatitis is a common, intensely itchy, inflammatory skin disease that affects between 10-20% of children. Despite its increasing prevalence, there are no generally accepted recommen-dations for the prevention of atopic dermatitis. Recent research suggests a defective skin barrier may be an important factor in the development of this chronic disease. We propose that early skin protection with a safe barrier-protecting ointment in infants may prevent or delay the development of atopic dermatitis.

Molecular Mechanisms of Melanosome BiogenesisHermansky-Pudlak Syndrome (HPS) is a rare disorder caused by a single gene defect that affects the skin, eyes, lungs, colon, immune system, and blood clotting system. Six different genes are known to cause HPS in humans, but the way that these genes work is not understood. This proposal focuses on the detailed study of one HPS gene, cappuccino, to analyze how defects in this gene can cause multisystem disease.

This new category of multi-year awards is designed to develop future intellectual leaders, educators and clinical scholars

in those aspects of dermatology that address severe, systemic dermatologic disease. It provides $55,000 annual salary

stipends for up to three years, and the investigators pictured here are newly-funded to pursue the following projects.

Defining and Evaluating Targets for Treatment of Skin Disease in Systemic SclerosisMost research in scleroderma focuses on treatment and prevention of internal organ damage. My interest is in understanding and treating the debilitating effects of skin fibrosis. Drugs that regulate cutaneous blood flow as well as the immune system will be evaluated. I will seek to identify genes whose differential regulation may be involved in triggering the disease, and that could be the target of future therapies for this devastating disease.

Prevention of the dangerous skin reaction that follows stem cell transplants from non-identical individuals will be attempted. Benefit of stem cell transplants on pre-existing inflammatory skin diseases, such as psoriasis, will also be determined. The candidate’s ability to translate understanding of the basis of skin diseases into novel therapies will be enhanced through advanced multifaceted clinical training.

the investigators pictured here are newly-funded to pursue the following projects.

Enabling Remote Skin Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Over the Internet: Creating and Validating Touch Technology for TeledermatologySkin cancer is the most prevalent form of cancer in the United States. Early diagnosis and treatment of skin cancer can decrease its morbidity and mortality. Teledermatology has been used for geographically remote patients. A limitation of this modality is the lack of tactile feedback. Developing the ability to touch the remote patient’s lesion will increase the diagnostic accuracy. This tactile feedback can be used for training and applied to other aspects of dermatologic surgery.

Microdermabrasion and Dermal RemodelingMicrodermabrasion is rapidly becoming a popular procedure for improving fine rhytides and pigmentary abnormalities associated with photo aging, enlarged pores, and scarring. Several studies have evaluated the clinical and histologic changes associated with microdermabrasion, however, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying these changes is still in its infancy. We propose to evaluate changes in barrier lipid biosynthesis, inflammatory cytokines,matrix metalloproteinases, and collagen synthesis after microdermabrasion treatment.

In Vitro and In Vivo Study of the Interaction of Vaccinia Virus with Langerhans Cells in the Presence or Absence of Antipoxvirus DrugOur goal of this research project is to study the pathogenesis of poxvirus and the mechanism of action of antipoxvirus drugs. We hope to develop a murine skin model using engineered poxvirus to study viral pathogenesis and host immune defense. This model will allow us to evaluate the efficacy of topical antipoxvirus drugs in the treatment of poxvirus infection of the skin and complications of smallpox vaccine.

The Role of Epiderman Transglutaminase in Dermatitis HerpetiformisDermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is a skin eruption that is a manifestation of gluten sensitivity. Epidermal transglutaminase (eTG) appears to be the dominant autoantigen in DH. This project will expand our understanding of the pathogenesis of DH by correlating IgA eTG antibody levels with factors related to disease severity, purifying eTG and developing polyclonal antibodies to this protein, and evaluating expression of eTG in relationship to skin lesions of DH.

Gene Expression Analysis of Leprosy Reactional States to Gain Insights into Type III and Type IV Immune Responses in SkinLeprosy provides an extraordinary model to investigate mechanisms of cell-mediated immunity and unresponsiveness to intracellular pathogens in humans. The outcome of the host response to M. leprae is determined by the nature of the immune response in lesions. I propose to futher understand the mechanisms of tissue injury by analyzing the reactional states of leprosy, erythema nodosum leprosum and reversal reaction. From this information I anticipate developing new treatments for a variety of infectious diseases.

Innate Immunity to Bacterial Skin InfectionsThe majority of cutaneous bacterial infections in humans is due to Staphylococcus aureus and Group A Streptococcus. This proposed study will investigate the role of Toll-like receptors (TLRs), particularly TLR2, in mediating immune responses and generation of antimicrobial peptides directed against these common bacterial skin infections. This study will broaden our understanding of cutaneous host defense and may lead to much needed novel antibacterial therapies, thereby expanding our arsenal against these infections.

Role of GILT in MHC Class II Processing and PresentationMany benign and malignant dermatologic diseases, such as psoriasis, eczema and cutaneous T cell lymphoma, are mediated by activated CD4+ T cells, specialized immune cells. Dendritic cells, which express major histocompatibility complex (NIHC) class II molecules, are the major activators of CD4+ T cells. Gamma-interferon-inducible lysosomal thiol reductase (GILT) is an enzyme that breaks down proteins in the MHC class II pathway. Mice that lack GILT will be utilized to determine the role of GILT in dendritic cells and in the development of dermatologic diseases.

Phenotypic and Functional Characterization of Memory B Cells Autoimmune blistering disorders such as pemphigus and bullous pemphigoid are potentially fatal diseases caused by antibodies that bind to proteins that hold skin cells together. B cells produce these antibodies, but the mechanisms responsible for their sustained antibody production (memory) are poorly understood. Here, we propose to study B cell memory, which allows for chronic autoantibody production. This will allow more directed therapies to be developed.

Is Isotretinoin Use Associated with an Increased Risk of Depression or Suicide in the U.S.? High-profile cases in the lay press have drawn increasing attention to a possible link between isotretinoin use and an increased risk of depression or suicide among patients with acne. However, no scientific studies have been able to convincingly demonstrate any such increased risk. This study intends to be the largest epidemiologic investigation on this subject to date and the first such study examining data from the United States.

here are newly-funded to pursue the following investigations.

Skin Manifestations of Tuberous SclerosisTuberous Sclerosis (TS) is a genetic problem that causes morbidity and mortality due to developmental malformations, resulting in seizures, as well as benign and malignant tumors. This proposal will test the hypotheses that these lesions are caused by abnormal growth factor receptor activation, and that combination of FDA approved tyrosine kinase receptor antagonists with systemic retinoids may be beneficial in the treatment of TS. Combination therapy with kinase inhibitors and retinoids may be therapeutically useful in a wide range of neoplastic and inflammatory disorders.

Designer Cocktail Adjuvants for Cancer TreatmentDendritic cells (DC) are special leukocytes that play key roles in initiating immune responses.We have observed recently that maximal DC activation is achievable by combining multiplepharmacological agents. Using our newly developed DC-based “biosensor” systems, we willformulate the optimal “designer cocktail” adjuvants. Subsequently, we will determine whetherprotective immunity against cancer is inducible by this approach. We believe that the proposedstudy may lead to the development of new therapies for cancer patients.

Genomic and Functional Analysis of FGF Antagonists in MelanomaMelanoma remains one of the most serious forms of cancer. Identification of new genes involved in melanoma have led to important insights into the origins of this cancer and to potential therapeutic targets. Mutations which affect RAS signaling have been identified in the large majority of melanomas. We will investigate what role the inhibitors of the RAS signaling pathway play in normal melanocytes and why they fail to block the progression of melanoma.

✵ Annenberg Circle Founder

03 Annenberg Circle

At the close of 2003, membership reached 205 dermatologists and lay members. The Trustees are deeply appreciative of the generosity of these individuals. Their commitment helps ensure the growth of the Foundation’s programs. Up to $10,000 of accrued Leaders Society membership can be applied to Annenberg Circle participation.



03Leaders Society Roster

This year we celebrate an important milestone for all of dermatology. For 15 years

the Leaders Society has challenged each of us to give generously every year to

support the research/teaching component of the specialty. As a result, members of

the Leaders Society, combined with Annenberg Circle members, have given more

than $14 million since 1989 to improve patient care by sustaining dermatology’s

infrastructure. What began with a cadre of 91 original members has now grown to

over 1,100 members, and the Dermatology Foundation is honored to recognize these

individuals as members of the 2003 Leaders Society and Annenberg Circle.

Through their 2003 contributions, they have provided over $1.98 million to

advance the entire specialty. We hope their example prompts you to make your own

generous commitment. In this way, you, too, will be a partner in sustaining medical

and surgical dermatology and will gain personal and professional satisfaction from

knowing that it is our patients who are the ultimate beneficiaries.

Identification of Outcome Predictors in Juvenile Localized SclerodermaScleroderma is a connective tissue disease characterized by excess collagen deposition and fibrosis, primarily involving the skin and subcutaneous tissues but also affecting other organ systems. A subtype of this condition, called localized scleroderma, is more common in children and can have devastating effects on growth and development. Very little epidemiologic data exists on juvenile localized scleroderma. Our study will investigate which factors are predictive of improved/poorer outcomes in juvenile localized scleroderma.

Transcriptional Regulation of Skin and Hair DevelopmentNormal skin formation requires a balance between growth and development. One group ofproteins that may participate in these processes is the AP-2 family of proteins. AP-2 proteins areexpressed throughout the skin, and some are expressed abnormally in certain cancers, includingsome skin cancers. I will investigate how AP-2 proteins control the normal development of skinand hair, which may suggest how these proteins contribute to the development of cancer.

The Role of EphA2 in Melanoma Progression and MetastasisMalignant melanoma is a life threatening skin cancer. Melanoma often originates in common moles and progresses through various stages of invasive cancer and ultimately may spread to distant organs (metastasis). Eph cell surface receptors are not present in normal melanocytes and moles, but have been shown to increase during the transition from normal mole to invasive melanoma. We are investigating the role of the EphA2 receptor in the progression and spread of melanoma.

The Relationship of Demographic, Geographic, and Socioeconomic Factors in Melanoma Prognosis: An Examination of Melanoma Mortality in SEER RegistriesThis study will use Geographic Information Systems (GIS), a computer program which generates digital maps, to create maps of melanoma prognosis using a national cancer registry. It is hoped that these maps, which will include information such as median poverty level, education, and the number of dermatologists in the community, can help to explain differences in melanoma outcomes in different groups of people, including racial and ethnic groups that have worse melanoma survival outcomes.

Role of a Pattern Recognition Receptor, Human Dectin-2, in Th2-polarizationWe have discovered the dectin-2 receptor expressed in mice by Langerhans cells and dendritic cells. This receptor recognizes house dust mite allergen and the hyphae (but not yeast) form of fungi. Binding of dectin-2 to house dust mite allergen and hyphae leads dendritic cells to produce IL-4, a cytokine associated with Th2-mediated diseases. Most recently we discovered the human equivalent of mouse dectin-2, whose properties are the subject of this study. Our findings may lead to development of drugs that target dectin-2 in order to enhance or block IL-4 production. We also plan to study a possible relationship between dectin-2 and Th2 diseases such as atopic dermatitis and allergic asthma and rhinitis.

Role of ID Proteins in Hair Follicle and Epithelial Stem Cell BiologyEpithelial stem cells in the hair follicle bulge are important for hair follicle growth and skin cancer formation. We have defined several candidate genes that may be responsible for controlling the behavior and growth of these cells. We will study whether the family of genes known as “ID, inhibitor of differentiation” genes affect hair growth and skin cancer formation in genetically engineered mice.

2003 Clark W. Finnerud Award

Milwaukee dermatologist Thomas J. Russell, M.D. a “consummate clinician-educator” is the 2003 honoree. After earning his B.S. and then M.D. at Milwaukee’s Marquette University School of Medicine—now the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW)—and his dermatology residency at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, Dr. Russell joined the Department of Dermatology at MCW in 1968 as a clinical instructor and established a thriving private practice that is now a group of seven dermatologists. From the start of his career, Dr. Russell demonstrated the scope of his abilities as a dermatologist with his innovative research in the early 1970s documenting the immunogenetics of psoriasis which has paved the way for current advances in the genetics of the disease. Along with this pioneering work, Dr. Russell was instrumental in establishing an independent Department of Dermatology at MCW. As interim chairman, he sustained the department’s vitality and purpose during two extended periods and was chosen by medical school faculty to receive the 2002 Marvin Wagner Preceptor Award for his substantial contributions to MCW as a volunteer faculty member. He has repeatedly earned public honors as a top clinician, and Dr. Russell’s exceptional clinical and teaching strengths have long made his weekly clinics a favorite of residents. Dr. Russell summed-up his philosophy: “In today’s environment of difficult recruitment of full-time faculty, committed clinical dermatologists can provide a crucial role in the education of residents, and at times, the forgotten medical student. We have a responsibility to foster passion among our residents for our profession so that they will continue to function as full-time clinical faculty in the future. To teach is to learn twice, and collectively, we owe a great deal to our residents for what they have taught us.” In introducing Dr. Russell, Dr. Kim B. Yancey, current chairman of the dermatology department at MCW, said “On a national level, the Dermatology Foundation’s Finnerud Award signifies what the local community has known for some time—that Dr. Russell is committed to medical excellence, medical education, and scholarly activities.”

2003 Practitioner of the Year Award

Lenore S. Kakita, M.D., regarded by those who nominated her for this award as “a shining star in dermatology” and “a perfect role model and mentor,” began her career in medicine close to home at UCSF. After interning at Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles, Dr. Kakita completed her dermatology residency in 1971 at UCLA where she has been ever since and maintains an active private practice. Other comments from nominators note that “her patients love her” and call her “a caring and compassionate clinician, a superb communicator, and innovative in her treatment techniques.” Dr. Kakita’s career has been characterized by her willing eagerness to take on challenges to benefit the specialty and patients to whom she is devoted. These challenges have involved important dermatology and medical organizations at the metropolitan, state, regional, national and international levels. As a result of her concern for patient- and healthcare-related issues and her involvement in both California and federal legislation, she has played a meaningful role in the enactment of policies favorable to dermatology, and improved reimbursement and overall gains in respect for the practice of dermatology. At the heart of it all said Dr. Kakita “…I enjoy my wonderful patients—many of whom have family that spans three or four generations. Their warmth, trust and friendships have been extremely gratifying. This is why I have been an active practitioner in organized medicine and organized dermatology which, in turn, has allowed me to focus on providing quality of care for my patients, to stand-up for the practitioners and to support women and minorities.” In introducing Dr. Kakita, friend and long-time colleague, Dr. Wilma F. Bergfeld, reiterated this career focus by incorporating a quote from Dr. Kakita: “ ‘My goal has been to maintain the rights of practitioners of dermatology and provide quality care to my patients.’ Lenore, you did it! Thank you.”

The Clark W. Finnerud and The Practitioner of the Year Awards were created in the 1970’s to honor, respectively, a dermatologist whose

contributions as a clinical educator are exemplary and a dermatologist who exemplifies the best of clinical service to individual patients.

Each Award is recognized throughout the specialty as career achievement honors.

Honoring Excellence


Peer Recognition This paramount award from the Dermatology Foundation

was established to recognize the highest levels of dedicated

and insightful leadership and service to the specialty.

Distinguished Service Award

For just the fourth time since its founding in 1964, the Dermatology Foundation presented its highest honor—the Distinguished Service Award-—to Eugene J. Van Scott, M.D. for his unique leadership and service to dermatology. During his illustrious career, Dr. Van Scott was a teacher, a researcher, a leader and an entrepreneur in the development of the specialty as it is today. His leadership benefited many organizations, but perhaps most profoundly, the Dermatology Foundation. Dr. Van Scott was one of the 10 visionary founders and early trustees of the Dermatology Foundation along with the late Irvin H. Blank, Ph.D. and Thomas B. Fitzpatrick, M.D., Ph.D. who were the first recipients of this high honor. The Dermatology Foundation’s growth from a new idea to a membership in the thousands, a budget in the millions, substantial industry support, and a research agenda rich in breadth and depth owes this success in no small measure to Dr. Van Scott. As he remarked during the presentation of the award, in the early 1960’s “as NIH funding became more competitive..we needed this driving force in research to make sure that young researchers got funded. None of us at that time conceived what would happen to this Foundation… (which) has become an institute unto itself..an institute for leadership in research and the direction of dermatology much as the Academy is the institute for leadership and direction in the field of teaching. The mission of the Dermatology Foundation today is seeding the foundations for dermatology tomorrow.” Dr. Van Scott has been a member of the specialty for more than 50 years since his residency at the University of Chicago Clinics in the late 1940’s. After a year’s affiliation with the University of Pennsylvania, he headed the dermatology program at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for the next 15 years. He was also Scientific Director for General Laboratories and Clinics at the NCI in the mid-60’s. Dr. Van Scott spent the next two decades in academic dermatology as a professor at Temple University and concluded his academic career at Hahnemann University. His publication history spans his professional career, and Dr. Van Scott has been honored many times over by the specialty with prestigious awards. As a man of action and an eminent spokesman on many fronts, Dr. Van Scott served several terms on the AAD Board of Directors and has played formative roles in the National Psoriasis Foundation and the

Dr. Van Scott

Society for Investigative Dermatology as well as holding important advisory positions on a number of FDA committees and the US Pharmacopoeia. In addition, he was part of a team whose scientific work, spanning more than 10 years, discovered the benefits of alpha hydroxyl acids and was co-founder of the research-based dermatological company, NeoStrata Company, Inc.

The Lifetime Career Educator Award was created by the

Foundation’s Trustees in 1999 as a means of honoring

those full-time academicians who have devoted their

careers to educating dermatology residents and fellows.

2003 Lifetime Career Educator Award

Harley A. Haynes, M.D., has a long and distinguished track record in teaching and is considered the “Dean of Dermatology Education” throughout the Harvard system. In 1970 he joined the dermatology faculty at Harvard, and by 1987 had become part of what is now the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology. Dr. Haynes’ enormous agenda of clinical activities has been matched only by his teaching commitments and impact. His colleagues share their praise referring to him as “a very powerful force in teaching about skin and dermatology, with great clinical judgment…the complete compassionate physician… admired by students, residents, and faculty.” Given the enthusiasm of his students, Harvard Medical School (HMS) has awarded him the Faculty Award for Excellence in Teaching (1985 and 1987), and in 2000, the Daniel D. Federman Outstanding Clinical Educator. In addition, the Department of Dermatology named him the 1997 Sam Moschella Teaching Scholar in recognition of his renown as a teacher, mentor, advisor, and role model to his students. Dr. Haynes is currently Professor of Dermatology at HMS, Vice Chair of the Department of Dermatology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Associate Chief, Dermatology Service, Boston VA Healthcare System.

Outside his institution, he has helped shape the dermatology curricula at all levels and has influenced the training of all dermatology residents: he regularly conducts education sessions at annual AAD meetings, has published almost 100 articles and a significant number of teaching materials, and participates in national education committees. Echoing the scope of Dr. Haynes’ influence as an educator was summed-up by Dr. John A. Parrish, chair of HMS department of dermatology, in his introduction of Dr. Haynes: “Through his students, now practicing and teaching throughout the United States, Harley has impacted our specialty well beyond his efforts in Boston.” As he accepted his award, Dr. Haynes expressed it this way: “I hope some of the younger people will say ‘Yes! I can do that….and do it!”

Dr. Haynes

Report of Independent Public Accountants We have audited the accompanying Statement of Financial

Position of Dermatology Foundation as of December 31,

2003 and the related Statements of Activities and Cash

Flows for the year then ended. The statements are the

responsibility of the Foundation’s management. Our

responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial

statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in

accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit

to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial

statements are free of material misstatement. An audit

includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting

the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles

used and significant estimates made by management, as well

as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for

our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements

referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,

the financial position of Dermatology Foundation as of

December 31, 2003 and the results of its operations and

its cash flows for the 12 months then ended in conformity

with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
