About Alain Brassard, M.D.
I believe everyone should have good health with intact skin. I value good communication between physicians and patients about their condition but also its management. A well informed patient is the first step toward healing. In an ideal world, every citizen should have easy access to excellent care. On a daily basis, I provide that access and care. Here at UCDavis Dermatology, I teach residents and students to surpass themselves in treating patients with the best knowledge but also excellent professionalism. Dr Brassard is a Medical Dermatologist interested in complex dermatological conditions such as Auto-immune Connective Tissue diseases, wound healing and skin manifestations of immunodeficiency. Surprisingly, patients can get very sick with skin diseases and get hospitalized. I have the honor of being the director of the Dermatology in-patient service to help those suffering individuals. Dr Brassard was the Chair of the Dermatology Examination Committee, Chair of the Specialty Committee and also an external reviewer for the Royal College of Physician and Surgeons of Canada. He has a strong interest in medical education, program evaluation and assessment. Dr Brassard has conducted many Clinical trials in Wound Healing and Medical Dermatology. His main focus now is Medical dermatology and Medical education in its delivery but also in its structure and assessment.
