Each year, the Pommerening Memorial Lecture is held in early October and features a celebration of the Division’s accomplishments over the last year, notable case discussions and a guest lecturer focused on various topics in dermatology. This year’s event welcomed over in-person and virtual 60 attendees including staff, faculty, trainees, alumni, industry and community partners.
The 2022 guest lecturer was John E. Harris, MD, PhD
