History of Dermatology at Duke: A Legacy of Leaders
Ours was the first dermatology training program developed in the southeastern United States, established in 1939. The program was founded and directed for 38 years by Dr. J. Lamar Callaway. Dr. Callaway was an outstanding clinician, teacher and academic dermatologist. His entire career was devoted to Duke Dermatology and he established a tradition of excellence in clinical care, teaching and research that remains the standard for our department. Dr. Cal's devotion to teaching and the development of future leaders in the specialty is his lasting legacy.
