2022 UW Dermatology Staff Nominations
Stephanie Timm, Residency & Fellowship Programs Administrator
Stephanie Timm, Manager of Dermatology Education and Training Programs, has been at UW and the Division of Dermatology for 11 years. Stephanie has been a beloved and impactful star on our UW Dermatology team. Stephanie led our program’s efforts during the pandemic to ensure that derm residents remained supported and functional throughout the pandemic. Stephanie provides superb support for our residency program director and two associate program directors.
Stephanie is organized, delightful, professional, and has extremely high standards for her work and how she represents our extended team. Our residency program has grown by more than ~50% during the past five years and Stephanie has ensured that even as our program grows, the quality of the education remains superb, and our trainees feel valued and supported.
Nominated by Paul Nghiem, Head of the Division of Dermatology.
Aimee Filippi, CME Program Specialist & Intranet Programmer
Aimee Filippi works with me as my counterpart in the Division of Dermatology in the Department of Medicine. Aimee is swift to respond, lightning fast at problem solving, and an all-around gem. She is constantly improving our division and rises to the occasion when given a challenge. She has a puzzle-solving brain and she doesn’t shy away from a big project, and can hold her own in any meeting. She is also social-justice minded and is constantly educating herself on relevant topics related to diversity, equity and inclusion.
She is a lovely colleague and we are truly lucky to have her on our team. Aimee does all of this part-time, AND she works several other jobs — one teaching babies and children music with Music Together, is the sole admin for Seattle Dermatologic Society, as well as managing the McCaw Hall gift shop for the Northwest Ballet. Thank you for considering her for the staff award — she deserves this honor and so much more for sharing her administrative gifts with UW, in addition to all of the other work she does within the community.
