The Paul R. Gross Professor of Dermatology
Vice Chairman & Residency Program Director, Department of Dermatology
Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine
Dr. Walter Burgdorf MD was hired as the first Chair of the newly formed UNM School of Medicine Department of Dermatology in 1984, with a joint appointment in the Department of Pathology, and served in this role until 1993. Previously, Dr. Burgdorf had been on faculty at the University of Oklahoma. His career included general and pediatric dermatology and pathological services, academic leadership, and medical writing, editing and translating. Dr. Burgdorf is vividly remembered for his passion for teaching and diagnostics, and we seek to honor this memory and let it guide our future as a Department.
Since its establishment in 2016 by former residents, the Walter Burgdorf MD Memorial Lectureship takes place every autumn; all faculty, trainees, community providers and alumni are invited to attend and CME credit is offered for continuous professional learning activities. The conference typically consists of didactics, case presentations given by Dermatology trainees, social networking events, and an invited speaker of national or international stature, especially selected for their work in legacy of Dr. Burgdorf's memory and interests.
This fund honors the contributions Dr. Burgdorf made to dermatology resident education at The University of New Mexico and acknowledges his outstanding service to the field as a diagnostician and author.
Initiated in 2014 by Dr. Burgdorf's former residents, the purpose of the fund is to support a visiting lecturer whose focus will be on clinical education in dermatopathology and medical dermatology for current residents. The selection process will be guided by faculty, and former and current residents.
