Daniel Leifer, MD, Dermatology R3, received the David C. Leach award this week at the ACGME 
Annual Educational Conference in San Diego, CA. The David C. Leach Award recognizes residents and fellows who have fostered innovation and improvement in their programs, advanced humanism in medicine, and increased efficiency and emphasis on educational outcomes.
Dr. Leifer received the award for his work developing DermLinks in 2018. DermLinks is a collaborative online home page for University of Washington dermatology residents. It makes frequently-used online resources easily accessible by situating them on a single page. DermLinks is resident-run and collaborative: residents edit DermLinks through the Google Docs interface and contribute their own useful links.
His work was recognized for targeting the following areas to improve GME and/or patient care: fostering innovation and improvement in the learning environment, increasing efficiency and reducing non-educational burden in the program, and improving communication and collaboration in education and patient care within the program.
Please join us on congratulating Dr. Leifer on his award!
