A Unique Partnership of World-Class Teams
Dermacare and the University of Florida Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery have recently forged a strategic partnership to share knowledge, research, training and technology in medical, aesthetic and laser skin care. Together they anticipate offering a comprehensive centralized source for anyone seeking solutions or industry information.
Both parties agree this unique academic and private sector relationship will add to their comprehensive knowledge base, training protocols and skills on many levels.
“Dermacare is honored to be partnering with the University of Florida Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery,” says Carl Mudd, founder and president of Dermacare Laser & Skin Care Clinics. “We’re proud to be the industry leader in patient safety and satisfaction, and we believe this strategic partnership will help further this goal.
“The Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery has a mass of standardized research and clinical studies, past and ongoing, which will enhance the quality and depth of our medical training,” says Mudd. “In addition, we believe that the division will benefit from Dermacare’s world-class technology.
The faculty and staff of the University of Florida Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, which was established in 1963, provide a full range of plastic surgery services to patients who come from a wide geographical area. These services comprise both reconstructive surgery and aesthetic surgery. Dr. Brent Seagle, chief and associate professor, is equally optimistic about this collaboration.
“We’re looking forward to our partnership with Dermacare and believe it will be a valuable asset to our program,” says Seagle. “Dermacare is well-organized, with high standards, highly trained staff and state-of-the-art equipment. This can only help us in our goals to enhance our position in cosmetic medicine and surgery and to broaden the scope of knowledge we can offer our residents and students.”
Dermacare of Gainesville co-Owner Jennifer “Charlie” Barkley says, “We’re excited about the chance to work with UF because we feel it will just add to our knowledge and ability to better serve our clients, which is so important to us. We have a unique opportunity to learn from and help each other as well as clients, patients and staff. We feel this is a win-win affiliation for everyone.”
Internationally, Dermacare offers complete skin care, laser and aesthetic treatments in a confidential, compassionate and caring atmosphere. Dermacare is unique in that it offers medically based care and state-of-the-art technology with a strategic combination of skin care specialists and highly trained clinicians.
On a corporate level, Dermacare has always held a gold standard in technology and training, which is why the company chose the Dermacare of Gainesville’s clinic to serve as the center for training new staff for clinic franchises around the world. With a Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery associate who will now serve as medical director and help to analyze, critique and standardize training protocols, this partnership will help bring this training standard to new heights. Above all, with both their scopes of knowledge and depth of reach, Dermacare and the University of Florida together will be setting new standards in medical, aesthetic and laser skin care that will be shared throughout the industry worldwide.
