Since then, his journey as a physician has taken him from treating young patients to treating patients who are "young at heart", with a focus on the management of skin cancer, and on providing excellent medical and surgical dermatologic care.
A student and soccer player, Dr. Dunn graduated Summa Cum Laude with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Clemson University, where he was valedictorian of his class. With encouragement from his wife, he pivoted to the pursuit of medicine as a career, and graduated #1 in his class at Wake Forest School of Medicine where he also served as class president. While there he became a junior inductee into the Alpha Omega Alpha and Gold Humanism Honor Societies; and was selected for the prestigious Leonard Tow Humanism in Medicine, Robert Perz Leadership, and WFSM Faculty Top Student awards - the only student ever to receive all three during medical school.
Dr. Dunn completed a pediatric residency at the Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, and served in the U.S. Air Force Medical Corps as a pediatrician and pediatric hospitalist. He served as medical director for the Department of Pediatrics at the 673rd Medical Group Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska and was recognized as a Top 10 Primary Care Provider and "Pediatrician of the Year" in 2021 by the Uniformed Services and American Academy of Pediatrics.
After leaving the service, Dr. Dunn pursued a dermatology residency at KCU/ADCS Orlando where he served as Chief Resident. Since then, he has received numerous awards from the American Academy of Dermatology, Florida Academy of Dermatology, and Florida Society for Dermatologic Surgeons for his work in artificial intelligence, public health, camp medicine for kids with medical needs, medical dermatology, surgical dermatology, and Mohs micrographic surgery.
Today, his thought leadership and insights have made him a highly-sought-after national speaker, leader, and educator, who serves in multiple leadership roles in the American Academy of Dermatology.
Dr. Dunn discloses that he has no relevant financial relationships with any organization producing, marketing, reselling, or distributing health care goods or services consumed by, or used on, patients relative to the content of this presentation.
