Interview with Roger Ceilley, M.D.
INTRODUCTION
The American Academy of Dermatology has played, and will continue to
play, a key role in the development of academic dermatology
world-wide. One of the major changes in medicine today is the
increasing use of the computer to access information. As one
involved with an electronic global dialog of dermatologists, I was
interested in the views of the current candidates for AAD President
related to ongoing and future developments of the Internet for our
specialty. The way we learn and practice medicine is evolving, and
how the Academy choses to become involved with providing resources on
the Internet will most likely have a major effect in these areas.
Since those decisions are current issues, the views of the next AAD
President should be of interest to us all.
With that in mind, I wrote both candidates, Roger Ceilley MD and Irwin
Freedberg MD, and posed a set of eight questions asking them to give
their views on the direction of the Academy in regard to the use of
the Internet. Here follows the interviews and some information about
each candidate.
