Elizabeth (Lisa) Swanson, MD, FAAD, has accepted the position of Associate Medical Editor of Practical Dermatology, the journal announced.
In this capacity, Dr. Swanson will work closely with Chief Medical Editor Neal Bhatia, MD, FAAD, to provide direction for Practical Dermatology’s extensive print and digital content. She will host interviews as part of the Practical Dermatology podcast, participate in video programs such as the Atopic Dermatitis Journal Club, write editorials in the journal, and more.
“I am honored and beyond excited to be a part of the Practical Dermatology family,” Dr. Swanson said. “I hope to bring my enthusiasm and passion for dermatology to my new role and I can't wait to get started!”
Dr. Bhatia welcomed Dr. Swanson to her new role with a nod to her Taylor Swift fanhood.
"I cannot think of a better addition to our team, an even more complete and dedicated dermatologist, and a more respected and shining star in our universe than Dr. Lisa Swanson, who will make an amazing part of the editorial leadership team,” Dr. Bhatia said. “Welcome aboard, Elizabeth ... ‘I knew you were trouble when you walked in,’ and ‘look what you made me do,’ but there has been a ‘blank space’ with you to fill it, and as any good Swiftie knows, you can't just ‘shake it off’ because ‘you belong with’ us!”
Dr. Swanson, who previously served on the Practical Dermatology Editorial Board, is a board-certified dermatologist and pediatric dermatologist based in Boise, Idaho. She is a graduate of Tulane University School of Medicine, and she performed an internship at Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona, before completing her dermatology residency at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, and a fellowship in pediatric dermatology at Phoenix Children’s Hospital in Arizona.
