“JangMi Johnson graduated from the Cook County Hospital/Malcolm X College PA program in 2002.  She began her career in general surgery working for the underserved at Provident Hospital of Cook County.  She honed her surgical skills that would take her to the next level of practice, Dermatology!  In 2005, she started her first dermatology job and has continually worked in the field, minus a short stint in NYC for pandemic relief work in 2020.  Her professional interests include leadership, psoriasis, skincare for BIPOC patients, hair loss, aesthetic dermatology, and anything that grows in/on the skin or makes one itchy.

In her free time, she takes epic roadtrips with her family, sews formal wear for women, and is working to bring an elegant skincare line to market, in the near future.”

In addition to clinical dermatology, Andrew serves as both a consultant and speaker for numerous pharmaceutical entities, and a sub investigator in multiple active clinical trials. He joined DeNova research in 2019, focusing on advancing treatment within the inflammatory landscape.

Hello! My name is Sarah Anderson, and I am the current Secretary/Treasurer for the ISDPA. After attending Indiana University and Midwestern University for my education, I started my career in dermatology, and have been working in this speciality ever since. I became an ISDPA member in 2019, then joined the ISDPA Board of Directors in 2021. In addition, I am both an AAPA and SDPA member, and became an SDPA Diplomate Fellow in 2020. 
 
I am grateful to have the opportunity to practice in this specialty and serve on the ISDPA Board of Directors. I believe advocacy for one’s career is important, and I am excited to continue to work with the ISDPA to represent and support dermatology physician assistants. I have found my membership with ISDPA and my position on the board to be beneficial both academically and professionally; I have been able to learn tips and tricks to incorporate into my daily practice, as well as network with many professional colleagues. I look forward to continuing to serve on the board and work with all ISDPA members!
