WDS Mentor of the Year Award Goes to Jean Bolognia, MD
The Women’s Dermatologic Society established the "Mentor of the Year Award" to honor individuals who have influenced the lives of women dermatologists through their commitment to mentoring. Dr. Jean Bolognia is presented with the 2008 Mentor of the Year Award for her excellence in and commitment to mentoring.

The first recipient of this award was Frances J. Storrs, MD. Dr. Storrs donated the honorarium to the WDS to establish a mentorship program and the program has received continuous funding from Dermik/Sanofi-Aventis throughout the years. Since 1990, the Mentorship Program has funded over 300 men and women, early in their professional careers, to spend time one-on-one with an established mentor with specific expertise.
