From the Chair

It’s hard to believe we’ve begun a new academic year! I am proud to be a part of this department as we continue to serve our mission to deliver quality dermatologic care throughout Mississippi.

Alumni Focus

We are pleased to spotlight two UMMC residency alumni and current faculty, Drs. Allison Cruse and Chelsea Mockbee.

Residency and Fellowship Program Update

As the Dermatology Residency Program enters its 11th year, we are pleased to announce that all of our June 2023 graduates are now board-certified dermatologists. The program thus continues to enjoy a 100% board pass rate. Our resident compliment was recently increased to 15 on a permanent basis and we are looking forward to the upcoming academic year's adventures in learning and teaching.

Dermatology Awards, Events, and Community Service

Members of the Department of Dermatology recently participated in a medical mission to Honduras, presented at local and national meetings, and volunteered with local students. Please join us in congratulating our faculty, staff, and residents for their hard work and outstanding accomplishments!

Welcome New Faculty Providers

Please join us in welcoming new faculty members Drs. Caitlin “Alex” Noble and Margaret “Molly” Webb. We are thrilled to have both former trainees join our department.

Research Corner

The Dermatology Clinical Trials Unit and Dermatology Research Team are blazing through with productivity this year! We have enrolled subjects with bullous pemphigoid and ichthyosis in ARGX and TIMBER trials, respectively. Our research team is actively recruiting interested patients with atopic dermatitis, ichthyosis, and bullous pemphigoid.

Welcome New PGY2 Residents

We would like to welcome our new residents; Drs. Sally McClung, Robert Quiring, Benjamin Rushing, Emily Sauce, and Katie Trettin. We have been excited to work with these excellent candidates with superb credentials thus far and believe they will contribute much to the residency program and the future of dermatology practice.
