Leadership

Dermatologist-led. Mission-driven.

The California Dermatology Advocacy Network (CDAN) is led by highly credentialed, board-certified dermatologists with decades of collective leadership in patient care, legislative advocacy, and organized medicine.

CDAN’s leadership contributes to state and national healthcare policy discussions, bringing dermatology expertise to public policy conversations that impact patient safety, scope of practice, and access to specialty care in California.

Physician Leaders

Our dermatology leaders provide a unified and credible voice for dermatology to lawmakers and regulators, ensuring dermatology is clearly and effectively represented in California healthcare policy.

Board members are also actively engaged in community-based dermatologic initiatives across California, grounding advocacy efforts in real-world patient care and public health impact.
