Paediatric Dermatology Program
The mandate of the Paediatric Dermatology Clinic is to provide consultations for paediatric skin conditions of concern to a physician or health-care professional where past treatment has proven unsuccessful or where additional investigation is needed in order to provide treatment and/or diagnosis. Currently, clinical work consists of 6,000-6,500 visits a year with at least two clinics running daily and a busy in-patient consultation service. The dermatology team includes two permanent staff members (Drs. Elena Pope and Miriam Weinstein) and four physicians with one to two clinics per week (Drs. Saul Greenberg, Nhung Ho, Christine Webster and Salvatore Cammisuli). Several multi-disciplinary clinics have been established, including a specialized morphea clinic, epidermolysis bullosa clinic, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma clinic and a vascular tumor clinic (VAST). The Dermatology Team is involved in multiple clinical research studies, primarily in the above areas of clinical expertise.
Teaching continues to be an integral part of the program with dermatology residents being required to spend six months in paediatric dermatology during their training. In addition, all paediatric residents rotate though the Dermatology Clinic. An internationally reputable fellowship program has been created that attracts trainees from all over the world. Currently, three to four fellows per year are completing their specialized fellowship in Paediatric Dermatology. The Dermatology Group is actively involved in teaching locally, nationally and internationally. The Paediatric Dermatology Update, an event initiated in 2004, attracts family doctors, paediatricians and dermatologists provincially and internationally biennially.
