 The International Pioneer Award for Distinguished Women in Dermatology was developed in 2001. The first award was given in 2002 and will be awarded every five years thereafter to an individual who has made a difference for women in dermatology at a global level.
The Awardee is an individual who:
- Has enhanced role of women in dermatology;
- Has served as mentor or role model for women;
- Has achieved accomplishments which have impacted the specialty of dermatology or medicine
- Is recognized as a pioneer or trailblazer for women’s issues or women in dermatology.
The Women’s Dermatologic Society is pleased to announce that Kazue Ohara, M.D., Ph.D. will be the recipient of the first International Pioneer Award for Distinguished Women in Dermatology. Dr. Ohara is well deserving of this prestigious award. Her career truly exemplifies the criteria set forth for recipients.
Dr. Ohara was the first woman dermatologist in Japan. Born in 1914 she had a choice of a career or marriage and chose to have a career. After receiving her training, she went on to become a faculty member and although she never had children, the dermatologist she has trained call her "mother." Dr. Ohara is the founder of Japanese Women’s Dermatology Society, which was established in 1958. She has truly paved the way for women dermatologists in Japan and Asia.
