Shannon Miller, 7 time Olympic medalist and leader of the 1996 Magnificent 7, will give the keynote address at the ODAC Dermatology, Aesthetic & Surgical Conference (ODAC). The address, “Gold Medal Mindset with Shannon Miller: Motivation, Teamwork & Commitment to Excellence,” will be given Friday, January 14, at 6:30 p.m. at the Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando.

Shannon will discuss how the gold medal mindset not only helped her win seven Olympic medals, but also battle cancer, and how these lessons continue to help her through the day-to-day effort of finding that illusive work-life balance. Shannon will share what it takes to succeed: the importance of goal setting, teamwork, positive attitude and resiliency.

“We are honored to have Shannon share her story of overcoming personal challenges, which can be an inspiration to us all,” said Shelley Tanner, CEO and president of SanovaWorks, which produces ODAC. “Shannon serves as the inaugural keynote speaker in recognition of our 20^th ODAC. We look forward to developing a long tradition of keynote addresses that inspire and encourage for the year ahead.”

ODAC provides pearls and clinical updates in medical, aesthetic and surgical dermatology through an engaging learning experience, including live demonstrations, panel discussions and audience Q&As. ODAC historically attracts nearly 700 dermatology physicians, residents, nurse practitioners and physician assistants each year. Up to 26.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ are available. The conference runs from January 14 through January 17.

Psoriasis is a common autoimmune disorder with associated comorbidities that are more than skin deep. Patients with psoriasis are at increased risk for cardiovascular and metabolic disease, malignancies, and anxiety/depression. These patients suffer from a diminished quality of life; conversely, treatment of the disease can improve quality of life and reduce morbidity. Unfortunately, data indicate that patients with psoriasis do not receive optimal treatment, and that clinicians are not sufficiently equipped to select appropriate therapy from among the many new treatment options. The proposed educational initiative will provide clinicians with a solid foundation for understanding the pathophysiology of psoriasis along with other autoimmune diseases, how this pathophysiology informs treatment options, and the most recent clinical trial data for current and emerging agents and management recommendations available to guide therapy selection.

New York (July 13, 2021) – The ODAC Dermatology, Aesthetic & Surgical Conference (ODAC) announced the appointment of Omar N. Qutub, MD, FAAD, to the position of director of equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI). Dr. Qutub is a medical and cosmetic dermatologist in private practice in Portland, Oregon. He will hold the position for the 2022 and 2023 conferences.

“We were impressed with Dr. Qutub’s innovative and impactful ideas for how to make ODAC more inclusive and diverse,” said Shelley Tanner, CEO and president of SanovaWorks, which produces ODAC. “Dr. Qutub’s passion for equity, inclusion and diversity in medicine is action-oriented and inspiring.”

In this role, Dr. Qutub will work closely with the ODAC Advisory Board and ODAC staff to promote the development and implementation of educational offerings aimed at improving cultural competence, diversity and equity within the field of dermatology. In addition, he will assist in creating a conference experience that is conducive to a collaborative learning environment that enhances professional development and advancement for all.

“With a focus on diversity and inclusion, I wholeheartedly believe that we can make strides as a specialty to serve all populations more proactively and thus more effectively,” said Dr. Qutub. “Serving as the director of EDI will invigorate what I view as a valuable aesthetic and medical training ground for young and experienced dermatologists alike.”

A graduate of Howard University College of Medicine, Dr. Qutub completed his dermatology residency at Howard University Hospital and the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Washington, D.C. “At Howard, our mission was to serve the underserved, and to do so just as we would serve any other population; a lesson never once lost on me to this day,” said Dr. Qutub.
