Chief Medical Editor Message
Passing the CME Baton
March 2004
O riginally from Philadelphia, Amy McMichael, M.D., has called North Carolina her home for the past 11 years now. Along with her husband,
6-year-old daughter and 3 1/2-year-old son, Dr. McMichael resides near Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem.
This month, we’re thrilled to welcome Dr. McMichael as our new CME editor. She takes on this role at the heels of former CME Editor, Steve Feldman, M.D., who is now Skin & Aging’s Chief Medical Editor.
After attending college at Swarthmore in the Philadelphia area, Dr. McMichael went to University of Pennsylvania Medical School. An internship at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia followed. The next leg of her career took her to the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor where she said she “got the bug for research.”
“Once I finished at University of Michigan,” explains Dr. McMichael, “I knew I wanted to have additional training in research principles.” So it was on to Wake Forest for a dual program, which would allow her to become a faculty member and get a masters in epidemiology.
As an Associate Professor in the Department of Dermatology at Wake Forest, one of Dr. McMichael’s passions is studying hair disorders. Appropriately so, she’s the Director of the Hair Disorders Clinic.
“One of my favorite areas of study and one in which there’s a dearth of information is scarring hair loss disorders,” says Dr. McMichael. “I’m presently researching haircare practices that might be associated with scarring hair loss,” she adds.
Also as part of her research interests, she runs numerous pharmaceutically based clinical studies.
She also wears several other “big hats,” as she affectionately refers to her accomplishments. In addition to being the Director of the Residency Program, she’s also the Director of the Cosmetic Dermatology Center.
As our CME Editor, Dr. McMichael will spearhead four free CME articles this year, the first of which is running in this issue. The June, September and December issues will contain the other three. If you wish to contact Dr. McMichael, you can do so by e-mailing her at amcmicha@wfubmc.edu.
