Dr. Jain graduated from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland and received her medical degree at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida. She completed her dermatology residency at the University of Illinois at Chicago Medical Center and served as chief resident during her final year due to her leadership and excellence in teaching.

Since completing her training, she has continued to receive awards for excellence in patient care and is actively involved in medical education. She is currently an Assistant Clinical Professor of Dermatology at the University of Florida College of Medicine. She has also authored multiple articles in peer-reviewed journals and has been an invited speaker at both national and international dermatology meetings. She is the sole author of Dermatology: Illustrated Study Guide and Comprehensive Board Review, which was published in 2012 and quickly became the best-selling dermatology board review book in the country. She recently published the second edition in 2017 due to the popularity of the first edition. Dr. Jain is a member of the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Dermatology.

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.
