Irwin M. Braverman, M.D. ’55, HS ’56

Irwin M. Braverman, M.D. ’55, HS ’56, professor of dermatology, was honored at a Yale symposium on April 28 to celebrate his career at Yale as an outstanding clinician and researcher. Braverman has provided insight into a wide range of cutaneous diseases, from lupus to hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia to T-cell lymphoma. He is also a researcher and educator on the aging of the skin and cutaneous microcirculation. With the help of Jacqueline Dolev, M.D. ’01, and Linda Friedlaender, curator of education at the Yale Center for British Art, he developed a tutorial, the “British Museum Project,” that uses highly detailed original works of art to train first-year Yale medical students to become more careful observers.
